Hold Fast Hope

Intro How can you be sleeping waves like weapons crash O’er us cry for mercy and hold fast hope Em 8 measures Verse Who of us is cursed or do we have to ask Search your souls and hold fast If no one speaks a word then let the lots be cast Truth be told and hold fast Pre-Chorus White death wakes in black skies mark your maker’s wrath Fear and flames of azure climb the crooked mast You will yet be baptized steeped in shattered glass Sink and sing your answer and hold fast hope       As strong arms grip your shoulders like dead hands of the past          Pray as you’re tossed over this breath could be your last   Bridge           Quiet and cold siiiilent and    slow Niiight black as    coal miiiles here    below 2nd Bridge Find your faith and dive deep through living gateways pass Lined with death and ivory and hold fast hold fast Pre-Chorus Deep beneath the black dawn leagues from lightning’s flash Ribs will raise cathedrals for the morning mass Steel yourself in sackcloth roll your heart in ash Scrape your skin with steel wool and hold fast hope Ribs will raise cathedrals for the morning mass Scrape your skin with steel wool     Cross your heart and hold fast hope Hold fast hope. Hold fast hope.
