Damocles

See the sword hang over my head
Tied my fate to the weight of this thread
How in God’s name could we let
These rivers run so red today
Damocles I see what you’ve seen
The price to pay for daring to dream
Accusations everywhere
I won’t play electric chairs today
I need a friend, somebody I can run to
I need a friend just like you
I need a friend, somebody I can talk to
I need a friend like you
There’s a king living in everyone
Gather round bring your gifts or your guns
See the battle up ahead
We can die or fight instead today
I need a friend, somebody I can run to
I need a friend just like you
I need a friend, somebody I can talk to
I need a friend like you
Everybody needs something
Everybody got needs
Everybody needs someone
Everybody got needs
I need a friend, somebody I can run to
I need a friend just like you
I need a friend, somebody I can talk to
I need a friend like you
