If I Fail

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 was sewed with blood
A deafening burst, the smell of death and faces blurred with mud
Ingenuous, yeah, blameless
A peace seeker in the jam
But I’m stuck in here till judgment day on ruined land
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
If I fail or if I fall
If I range or if I crawl
Yeah, if I starve or if I sear
Ohh-whow, raise my hope and ease the fear
