Desperate Times - The Sloes

Time and time again I stand at the crossroad Where the weight of my burden Eclipses my resolve This broken path I've chosen I walk it alone Though I feel forgotten You've carved my name in stone In these desperate times This I plead When all else fails remember me This is daily crucifixion And these rusty nails leave scars My jagged crown is at my side Anguish is never far In these desperate times This I plead When all else fails remember me This is a blood-oath They are nothing to me anymore But your voice means more to me Than you'll ever know There's no question You're the answer I will find you In these desparate times This I plead When all else fails remember me In these desparate times This I plead (This I plead) When all else fails remember me
