My darling, I'm afraid
We'll have to amputate
I will not live to see
This gangrene poison me

This creeping infection is gonna hit our blood
If we don't cut the bone
What was perfection is now a rotting limb
I will not live to see
This gangrene poison me

My darling I'm afraid
We'll have to amputate
I will not live to see
This gangrene poison me

(This gangrene poison me
This gangrene poison me
This gangrene poison me)

In spite of all we had before
I know this is not worth dying for
Heard the one about the veteran missing the war
But still, this is not worth dying for

This creeping infection is gonna hit our blood
If we don't cut the bone
What was perfection is now a rotting limb
I will not live to see
This gangrene poison me

My darling I'm afraid
We'll have to amputate
I will not live to see
This gangrene poison me

(This gangrene poison me
This gangrene poison me)
This gangrene poison me

My darling I'm afraid
We'll have to amputate
I will not live to see
This gangrene poison me
