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 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 judgment day on ruined land
