Short changed

I thought they were friends

That they would stand with me

And fight where I fought

But, they lied

They lied about that plan

They sold my efforts away

They blew our commitment

But, how they lied

They said the time was right

They bowed and vowed

They swore by the idea

And when they took that oath

They said it would be a union

But, they still lied

They sold it to the enemy

But, why their lies

They lied about that dream

And the vision we shared

The ones I trusted

But, why did they lie

Like vultures dancing at death

Smiling at my carcass 

The idea now scattered

But, they lied
