Lyrics

“Attention, crew. We are facing some technical issues and a forced landing will be required.
Please, fasten your seat belts and follow the emergency procedure.
Good luck and god bless us all!”

Act I: Crafting faith from Death

Watching scared to my last breath
I have family and friends
Frightened desperate, facing fate
Is there a chance to escape this tragic end?

Still so much I’d like to do
Time ran out, for sure
Please I beg forgive my soul
Can I find faith lying within my sins?

Bridge 1

(What would you want?)
I'll try to pray
(Who are you?)
Please guide my way
(What would you want?)
I’m so afraid
(Who are you?)

Chorus 1

Please forgive me for my sins!
Forgive me! (Desperate reaction)
I was not a true believer!
If there’s still hope I’m sure, I’ll change my mind

Act II: Losing Hope in the End

I feel my faith is running out
I need to understand now
God I was a faithful son!
Full of plans, my life has just begun

Bridge 2

(What would you want?)
I'll stop my prayers
(Who are you?)
No supplicates
(What would you want?)
There is no escape!
(Who are you?)

Chorus 2

I’m alone, there is no hope
No more! (Unfaithful rejection)
I have been a true believer!
The end is near, on no prayer I’ll rely

Chorus 1

Chorus 2

Prayer

Dear God…
I think that is our last conversation here from this side
First, I’m sorry for any trouble that I caused.
I’m sorry for disappointing You
I’m just wondering: Why have You abandoned me when I need You most?
There are a lot of sinners who deserve this destiny more than me.
I’ve always been a good man
I’ve always loved You, and paid all my duties

But who am I to question Your decisions, right?
Please, take care of my family, and be merciful to my soul
See You soon

About the song

Desperate Prayer puts a believer and an atheist side by side on a plane that is going down, sharing the same fate. As the end gets closer, the song asks whether one could lose his faith and the other find it, and hides a message about empathy for the listener to uncover.
