If I Fail

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 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 was soaked with blood A deafening burst The smell of death and faces blurred with mud Ingenuous Yeah, 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 If I fail or if I fall And if I range or if I crawl Yeah, if I starve or if I sear Ooh, raise my hope and ease the fear
