Mono Inc. - If I Fail lyrics

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 sewed 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 till
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
If I range or if I crawl
Yeah, if I starve or if I sear
Ohh-whow, raise my hope and ease the fear
