Killswitch Engage - Desperate Times Lyrics






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 on my side
Because it never fell

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

    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.

    Thank you

    This album and Disarm the Descent are my favs. I honestly think Jesse and Howard are equally skilled and I love them both.

    R.... M....

    Incarnate is amazing as well.

    R.... M....

    @Deaf2Demands Yeah it is pretty good, I love that song Embrace the Journey. I always crank the volume to the intro of that song. Give me goosebumps when the bass drum starts kicking and Jesse is like "let's go!!!"

  4. J.... N....

    my theme song for life

  5. A.... N....

    one of my favourites from this band.

  6. L.... R....

    This song is deep!

  7. B.... C....

    10 years ago I was listening to this while playing world of warcraft, lost in that world and enjoying this music in the background, I was having the time of my life. I wish I could go back to those times, I miss them so much, my family was still together, everyone's still young, no problems, no responsibility, the goal is to just have fun, the world's still new and everyday is an adventure.

    C.... M....

    Simple times man. I turned 29 years. It shocks me how much simpler things were in the past...the stresses, pressures, worries, etc - all a distant concern that only the future could hold. We are now in that future my friend...its different but still enjoyable

    C.... M....

    Same here.. I remember questing through Desolace while hearing this song. Good ol‘ times

    C.... M....

    Isnt it crazy how music can take you back in time to a specific memory? Limp Bizkit CSHFW album reminds me of playing Gears of War 2 and Resident Evil 5 with my good friend. Miss those days...

  9. y.... ....

    I love listening to killswitch at dawn or sunset, it’s just beautiful

    y.... ....

    Same here, this band have something special

    y.... ....

    yeyegame listening before work makes the day just that much better it seems.

    y.... ....

    yeyegame for sure night core

  10. A.... ....

    Driving over a bridge in Florida during the sunset with this playing...many times. Always cathartic.

    A.... ....

    I bet. Used to do that a lot when I lived in Winter Garden/ Orlando. That's actually where I saw them a good 6 times when Howard Jones was still in the band. Good times.

    A.... ....

    I got the same while passing Vistula River by Świętokrzyski bridge in Warsaw Poland. Cheers!

  11. B.... M....

  16. T.... ....

    whats the tempo to this song? its so slow

    T.... ....

    I prefer the original tempo

    T.... ....

    98-118 bpms

    T.... ....

    I'm not an expert on time signatures but its either 4/4 or some crazy shit like 5/16's or something😂😂

    T.... ....

    @Dr Chef Dude what? it's 4/4, as simple as you can get. Also, the tempo is either 50bpm or 100bpm depending on your point of view. I'd say it's 50bpm, which is pretty slow. Personally I love the slowness

    T.... ....

    I'd have to say like 60 bpm max 70

  17. J.... G....

    Pinche musica tan perrona

  18. A.... J....

    fucking bad ass
