Lyrics Intrepid - In Hearts Wake, Marcus Bridge

Intrepid

What is this feeling that awakens the soul
Removing, constricting our need for control
I don’t know if I am alive in this horror
I watch the chaos unfold in the eye of the storm
I swim with the snakes and I spiral through form
In the land of the living
In the home of the dead
There is a world where the brave only dare to tread
Where the brave only dare to tread
Thrown into the cold
The fear sets in
The sun burns black
Terror begins, there’s no turning back
Can you feel it seizing your spine?
Can you see it slowly turning you blind?
When will you seek
And see the marvels around you
Don’t let yourself be the one in the way
Realise that you’re alive
Surrender
I watch the chaos unfold in the eye of the storm
I swim with the snakes and I spiral through form
In the land of the living
In the home of the dead
There is a world where the brave only dare to tread
Where the brave only dare to tread
This nightmare continues chasing your breath
There’s warfare within you embracing your death
Can you feel it seizing your spine?
Can you see it slowly turning you blind?
(Turning you blind)
I emerge attempting to define the indefinable
Attempting to describe the indescribable
Through hurricanes, only one thing remains
I can hear signing on the air tonight
Close your eyes
Don’t be afraid
I’ll be here to keep you safe
Close your eyes (close your eyes)
Don’t be afraid (don't be afraid)
I’ll be here to keep you safe (I'm right here—to keep you safe)
