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 desperate times.
This I plead.
When all else fails remember me.
In these desperate times.
This I plead.
When all else fails remember me.

Outro: Same as Chorus
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 desperate times.
This I plead.
When all else fails remember me.
In these desperate times.
This I plead.
When all else fails remember me.
