Verse 
Em           D                        C 
Who of us is cursed, or do we have to ask 
                      Am   G   Em 
Search your souls and hold fast 
Em                 D                          C 
If no one speaks a word, then let the lots be cast 
                  Am   Bm 
Truth be told and hold fast 

Pre-Chorus 
E6                                Fmaj7 
White death wakes in black skies, mark your maker's wrath 
Cmaj7 
Fear and flames of azure climb the crooked mast 
E6                        Fmaj7 
You will yet be baptized, steeped in shattered glass 
Cmaj7 
Sink and sing your answer and hold fast hope

      As strong arms grip your shoulders like dead hands of the past 
Em                          D    C                          Am    Bm

Em 
Find your faith and dive deep, through living gateways pass 
Em 
Lined with death and ivory, and hold fast, hold fast 

Pre-Chorus 
Em                           D 
Deep beneath the black dawn, leagues from lightning's flash 
C                          Am              G 
Ribs will raise cathedrals for the morning mass 
Em                           D 
Steel yourself in sackcloth, roll your heart in ash 
C                                    Am   Bm   E6 
Scrape your skin with steel wool and hold fast hope

Cross your heart and hold fast hope

Hold fast hope. Hold fast hope.
