If I Fail Lyrics

he 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
