Verse
Em      D            C
Who of us is cursed, or do we have to ask

Search your souls and hold fast

You will yet be baptized, steeped in shattered glass

Sink and sing your answer and hold fast hope

Em               D    C            Am   G

Deep beneath the black dawn, leagues from lightning's flash

Scrape your skin with steel wool and hold fast hope
