Desperation Burns Lyrics

I hate to say, but we've looked on better days
It took me by surprise
We left our quiet home behind

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e122800-baroness~desperation_burns_lyrics.html ]
The castaways drag the lake
The desperation burns

Raise the alarm
Un-close your eyes
Desperation

You never sang so sweetly 'til you whispered in my ear
I never heard a sound but I could hear
The hatchet-man dusting off his sleeve

Spil't my blood and drank my dreams
And stopped the spinning wheels

Wash away the bitter taste
The desperation burns

Raise the alarm
Un-close your eyes
Desperation

The last one flew
Just out of sight
If it throws you away
Just sit back and enjoy the ride

Raise the alarm
Un-close your eyes
Desperation burns
