Hold the Tide - Eisenfaust

Verse 1 The night split open with a scream Steel and water in between The sky fell down in shards of rain And fear was calling out her name She wrapped her arms around her child “Don’t look back, don’t lose your smile” The ocean roared, the deck gave way But she would not let go that day Pre-Chorus Cold waves rising to the stars Salt and blood and broken hearts Chorus Hold the tide, my little light Close your eyes, we’ll be alright If the sea takes me away You will see another day Breathe for me, don’t let go Even if I sink below If love can float above the blue It will carry you Verse 2 Wood and fire drifted past Memories sinking fast She found a door, she found a way To keep her daughter safe from the gray Her hands were numb, her voice was weak But still she sang so soft and sweet A lullaby against the storm To keep her daughter warm Pre-Chorus Every wave stole breath and heat But she would not accept defeat Chorus Hold the tide, my little light Close your eyes, don’t fear the night If the sea pulls me from view It will never take my love from you Kick your feet, reach the sky Promise me you’ll stay alive If I fade into the foam You’ll still find your way home Bridge The horizon blurred, her strength grew thin The ocean slowly pulling in She kissed her daughter’s soaking hair And whispered hope into the air Final Chorus Hold the tide, my little light Morning comes after the night If the sea must carry me Let it set my spirit free Live for me, grow strong and true Every sunrise carries you And in every wave you see You’ll remember me #eisenfaust #knockout #stories #books #holdthetide #mother #daughter
