(Fisher / Reid)We'll hoist a hand, becalmed upon a troubled sea'Make haste to your funeral,' cries the ValkyrieWe'll hoist a hand or drown amidst this stormy sea'Here lies a coffin,' cries the cemetery, it calls to meAnd all for nothing quite in vain was hope forever tossedNo thoughts explained, no moments gained, all hope forever lostOne moment's space, one moment's final fall from graceBurnt by fire, blind in sight, lost in ireWe'll hoist a hand, becalmed upon a troubled seaI fear a mighty wave is threatening meWe'll hoist a hand, or drown amidst this stormy sea'Come follow after,' cry the humble, 'You will surely see ...'But still for nothing quite in vain was hope forever tossedNo moments gained, no thoughts explained, all hope forever lostOne moment's space, one moment's final fall from graceBurnt by fire, blind in sight, lost in ire
