lyrics

Hold The Line by Violet Helm

Sleep, close your eyes.
Speak, don't deny.
Hold the line tonight.

We know these waters like the back of our hands.
We'll hold the line til' were bleeding red.
Our hearts are pure, they're dripping gold,
But our bodies broken, blistering cold. Cold.

I remember lying dead and gone, naked as when I was born.
He said show me what you can do.
You see this big ol' world, there's enough for me and you.
And it was made for me and you.

We know the ride is very long,
This song I sing won't cause you wrong.
And the blackened wolf won't find me here,
The messenger has made that clear.
Only finds me when I'm falling,
Hopeless drowning towards the bottom.
Have I reached the bottom?

Close the windows, close the doors, I can feel the storm's embrace.
I'm sorry darlin' this ain't really much but it's enough for now.
Just let the rock of the waves take you away,
And I, I'll be there when you wake.

I dreamed of freedom on the sea,
But now I see what she can be.
