The sea is rough † The spindrift cold † The bridge is under fire
The master left the sinking ship as waves were rising higher † Unbaptized † Unconverted
Just a henchman on the verge of throwing high aims overboard to feed the surge
But if I fail or if I fall † I’ll be aid and consolation † If I range or if I crawl † I will shelter you my love
If I starve or if I sear † I’ll be faith and inspiration † Raise my hope and ease the fear †
I’ll be there to back you up
The sand like glow † The desert wide † The sun truncated brains
The well dried up and thoughts are like a caravan in chains † Bedraggled and ahungered
Just a traveler in search of confidence and devotion before it burns
But if I fail or if I fall † I’ll be aid and consolation † If I range or if I crawl † I will shelter you my love
If I starve or if I sear † I’ll be faith and inspiration † Raise my hope and ease the fear †
I’ll be there to back you up
A lightning strike on killing fields † The soil is soaked with blood
A deafening burst † The smell of death and faces blurred with mud † Ingenuous † Blameless
A peace seeker in the jam † But I’m stuck in here till judgment day on ruined land
