We'll hoist a hand

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
