The Killigans - Desparate Cry Lyrics
Farmer stands watching, as his crops wilt awayFarmer stands watching, as his crops wilt awayCry out to the Lord God, “Help me Jesus I pray!Tis the land of my fathers’ and I must find a way!”Farmer stands watching, as his crops wilt awayLovers lie watching as their love blows awayLovers lie watching as their love blows awayCry out to the Lord God, “Help me Jesus I pray!Long gone is the passion that we had yesterday!”Lovers lie watching as their love blows awayDying man watches as his life slips awayDying man watches as his life slips awayCry out to the Lord God, “Help me Jesus I pray!Just another day longer, I’ll do whatever you say!”Dying man watches as his life slips awayWe all sit watching as our world dies awayWe all sit watching as our world dies awayCry out to the Lord God, “Help me Jesus I pray!It’s the ond of the glory, culture lost to decay!”We all sit watching as our world dies awaySweet LullabyThrough these grief stricken eyesFades a light, that once burned brightlyNow a hollow mind waits for sweet deathOnce this weary old wreck stood tall back to the north windNow there’s nothing more burning insideShe came in the nightThrough the window to greet meHad the heavens sent her from aboveWhen I asked her a name soft words whispered and kissed meAnd I dreamt of her sweet lullabyBy the morning she’s goneThrough my head sings her songAnd her memory it fadesAs the moonlight greets dawnSo I’ll sit here and waitFor the day when she’ll come backAnd I dream of her sweet lullabyHe came to take her awayFrom my arms, no longer with meA single bullet fired, shot through the heartOn her grave I now kneel, arms raised up to the good lordShouting promise, for vengeance, deservedA darkened night hides my faceThrough the shadows to take himTo hell with this wretched old beastThe judge says, “How do you plead?”Through my lips no word was spokenTo my prison, I’ll lay down and die
