Desperate Times

A grievous descent from what we call life
A struggling fight for the will to survive
The omission of morals as apparent as light
Failure of mankind, we cannot deny

The odds to make up for this shame are vile
So, we close our eyes and wait for the trial
But there's no salvation, just darkness and fright
We abducted our purity and killed it with pride

Desperate times
We are living in
Desperate times
No way for a new beginning
Desperate times
We are living in
Desperate times
No new beginning, no chance to hide

Crippling corruption, anger and hate
Left us with nothing but a dreadful disgrace
Wrestling with valor for a shady intent
Brought snakes into power, who betray and command

Pretentious and vain
They ascend to the throne
While the unfortunate
Suffer and moan
Judging who's worthy
Of being alive
Leaving them begging
For their time to arrive

Desperate times
We are living in
Desperate times
No way for a new beginning
Desperate times
We are living in
Desperate times
No new beginning, no chance to hide
Desperate times
We are living in
Desperate times and there's no end in sight
Desperate times which we cannot overcome in one life
Desperate times
No chance to run
It's needless to cry
