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 a-hungered
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

La la la...

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 'til 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

But if I fail or if I fall
La la la
If I range or if I crawl
La la la
If I starve or if I sear
La la la
Raise my hope and ease the fear
La la la
