Lyrics

The echoes of childhood whisper violence
Cold wind beating out of the past
Rage in your throat, muffled silence
Hold on, I will stand fast
In the darkness your guardians had left you
Cold wind beating out of the past
None to hear your cries, none to defend you
Hold on, I will stand fast
I will stand fast
I will stand fast
You are safe in the daylight at last
Nightmare and fear, they have no power here
I will stand fast
I will listen to the terrors that tried you
Cold wind beating out of the past
I will cradle the child that breathes inside you
Hold on, I will stand fast
Though you take the shape of a hundred ancient horrors
Cold wind beating out of the past
Though you strike at me and I flee into your sorrow
Hold on, I will stand fast
I will stand fast
I will stand fast
You are safe in the daylight at last
Nightmare and fear, they have no power here
I will stand fast
Birds flash upon a branch in winter
Cold wind beating out of the past
Ice in the sun begins to splinter
Hold on, I will stand fast
You will walk with no fetters to bind you
Cold wind beating out of the past
All the love you have wanted will find you
I will stand fast
I will stand fast
I will stand fast
You are safe in the daylight at last
Nightmare and fear, they have no power here
I will stand fast
I will stand fast
