Mono Inc. - 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 traveller 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 is soaked with blood
A deafening burst
The smell of death and faces blurred with mud
Ingenuous, blameless
A peace seeker in the jam
But I'm stuck in here till judgement day
On ruined land
