Lyrics

Freetown
Words and music by Gary Lee Morris

Desperate needs and refugees that cross the border in the morning light
"Father" feeds the holy deeds that turn to murder in the quiet night
On the shores of fair Leonne arrives a stranger with a flag of white
When the babies are alone he slithers in to feed his appetite

Let me take you down,hear the cry of Freetown
Can you hear that soundf,that's the cry of Freetown

Severed lives and broken dreams paint the picture of their twisted scheme
Moses cries, his hands are tied behind his back,I still xcan hear him scream
"Bastards" read the morning news as the blue sky slowly turned to grey
as the nations turned their heads,dark and cold became Leonne's day

Let me take you down,hear the cry of Freetown
Can you hear that soundf,that's the cry of Freetown

Fires burning,soldiers choking on the smoke of fallen comarades
Jesus sleeps,the devil creeps,their fallen angels lying on the ground
