Hold Fast Hope

Lyrics

[Verse 1] How can you be sleeping? Waves like weapons crash O'er us, cry for mercy And hold fast hope [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] White death wakes in black skies Mark your maker's wrath Fear and flames of azure Climb the crooked mast [Verse 3] You will yet be baptized Steeped in shattered glass Sink and sing your answer And hold fast [Chorus 2] As strong arms grip your shoulders Like dead hands of the past Pray as you're tossed over This breath could be your last [Bridge] Quiet and cold Silent and slow Night black as coal Miles here below [Verse 4] Find your faith and dive deep Through living gateways pass Lined with death and ivory And hold fast, hold fast [Verse 5] Deep beneath the black dawn Leagues from lightning's flash Ribs will raise cathedrals For the morning mass [Verse 6] Steel yourself in sackcloth Roll your heart in ash Scrape your skin with steel wool And hold fast hope [Outro] 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
