Verse 1:
FWe'll hoist a hand
EbBecalmed upon a troubled sea
"Make haste your funeral," cries the Valkyrie
We'll hoist a hand
EbOr drown amidst a stormy sea
Dm G7/B C C#dim"Here lies a coffin," cries the cemetery, it calls to me
Chorus 1
And all for nothing quite in vain was hope forever tossed
Dm Bb C C7No thoughts explained, no moments gained, no hope forever lost
F F7 Bb /A GmOne moment's space, one moment's final fall from grace
Burnt by fire, blind in sight, lost in ire

Dm Bb C C#dim
Verse 2:
We'll hoist a hand
Becalmed upon a troubled sea
I fear a mighty wave is threatening me
We'll hoist a hand
Or drown amidst a stormy sea
Come follow after cry the humble, you will surely see
Chorus 2
But still for nothing quite in vain was hope forever tossed
No moments gained, no thoughts explained, no hope forever lost
One moment's space, one moment's final fall from grace
Burnt by fire, blind in sight, lost in ire
