Verse 2: 
 
We‘ll hoist a hand 
Becalmed upon a troubled sea 
I fear a mighty wave is threatening me

Or drown amidst a stormy sea 
Come follow after cry the humble, you will surely see

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
