Sleep not as an island Pillar of the trenches seven miles deep But ground yourself with Jacob's ladder Rocks and bridges holding back disease
And when you cannot move Let Earth then move herself to hold you up For if you push away her arms They'll not return
Do you feel the blood divide beneath your skin? Do you know a thousand battles wage within? Do you see your own reflection when you stare into the rising water at your feet? Alone, you cannot win
Blink if you can hear me From across the untold miles where proud you stand Hold on to your humility Hold on to your life, like I hold on to your hand
Hold on to something stronger than blood Something stronger than words Something stronger than empty air we breathe When weaker is all we seem to be
Do you feel the blood divide beneath your skin? Do you know a thousand battles wage within? Do you see your own reflection when you stare into the rising water at your feet? Alone, you cannot win
Everything will go tonight Earth will overflow tonight It's all in who you know tonight
