Hold Fast Hope |
How can you be sleeping? |
Waves like weapons crash |
O’er us, cry for mercy and hold fast hope |
Who of us is cursed, or do we have to ask |
Search your souls and hold fast |
If no one speaks a word, then let the lots be cast |
Truth be told and hold fast |
White death wakes in black skies, mark your maker’s wrath |
Fear and flames of azure climb the crooked mast |
You will yet be baptized, steeped in shattered glass |
Sink and sing your answer and hold fast |
As strong arms grip your shoulders |
Like dead hands of the past |
Pray as you’re tossed over |
This breath could be your last |
Quiet and cold |
Silent and slow |
Night black as coal |
Miles here below |
Find your faith and dive deep, through living gateways pass |
Lined with death and ivory, and hold fast, hold fast |
Deep beneath the black dawn, leagues from lightning’s flash |
(Ribs will raise cathedrals) |
Ribs will raise cathedrals for the morning mass |
(For the morning mass) |
Steel yourself in sackcloth, roll your heart in ash |
(Scrape your skin with steel wool) |
Scrape your skin with steel wool and hold fast hope |
(Roll your heart in ash) |
Ribs will raise cathedrals for the morning mass |
Scrape your skin with steel wool |
Cross your heart and hold fast hope |
Hold fast hope, hold fast hope |
