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
