These are the hours where our souls are tested<br />
Their resolve weakens<br />
While the storm strengthens<br />
I won't share in their dismal fate<br />
<br />
As time passes the pressure intensifies to just give in<br />
To be swept over and down to never return again<br />
Tattered and torn<br />
Taken by the wind<br />
Frantic hands grasp to pull me under with them<br />
The waves, the rocks, the tower on the shore<br />
The light shines through the dark<br />
Steer by it and be sure against the gale<br />
Hold fast<br />
Committed for life<br />
With my skeleton crew<br />
We will last even through this night<br />
Hold fast the faithful.
