If I Fail by Mono Inc. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
