"Desperate Times" lyrics

"Desperate Times"

Holy water won't help you now
Here I lie, when it promised me death, on my last breath
Short-changed, so show some backbone
Keep a bad dog with you and the others won't bite

Damn what's done, it's been done already
Keep it steady!
Here I come and hell is coming with me
Damn what's done, it's been done already
Keep it steady!
Here I come and hell is coming with me

Heart is black, body is blue
Nights I've empathized drowning with you
You raise up my cup
Defeat does not exist!

Desperate times call for desperate measures
Go ahead and pour that gasoline
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Nothing's certain but the unforeseen
If you think I'll bend you're sadly mistaken
Desperate times call for desperate measures

Because I could not stop for death
It kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
Alongside rode immortality

You tend to choose your poison
Here I lie, when it promised me death, on my last breath
Short-changed, so show some backbone
Keep a bad dog with you and the others won't bite

Damn what's done, it's been done already
Keep it steady!
Here I come and hell is coming with me
Damn what's done, it's been done already
Keep it steady!
Here I come and hell is coming with me

Heart is black, body is blue
Nights I've empathized drowning with you
You raise up my cup
Defeat does not exist!

Desperate times call for desperate measures
Go ahead and pour that gasoline
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Nothing's certain but the unforeseen
If you think I'll bend you're sadly mistaken
Desperate times call for desperate measures

Desperate times
Call for desperate measures!
Desperate times
Raise, that coffin does not exist!

Desperate times call for desperate measures
Go ahead and pour that gasoline
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Nothing's certain but the unforeseen
If you think I'll bend you're sadly mistaken
Desperate times call for desperate measures

Desperate times
Call for desperate measures!
Desperate times
Desperate!
