[Chorus 1]
N.C.
Hold on! Hold on, my heart!
You once were full, and sang of grace!
Hold on!
[Verse 1]
Em
One taste of the sound from the Sirens in the water
Em
And I'm thinking, "I should get out this sharpest sword and suit of armor,"
F#dim Em
So I can be ready to strike. But I pause, one more time.
D#dim Em
One last taste of the sound, then I'll cut these Sirens down.
D#dim Em
But as they sang, I forgot. They were death so I brought
F#dim Em
Them my heart to be filled, and I followed them.
[Verse 2]
Em
No trace could I find of any joy the Sirens promised.
Em
They had found a way with the light: turned what's good and should be wanted
F#dim Em
Into what is highest above all desires and loves,
D#dim Em
'Till my heart would obey whatever it wants, whatever it takes
D#dim Em
To feel alive and set free, only bound to the sea,
F#dim Em
Where the Sirens are leading me on.
[Chorus 2]
Em G C
Hold on! Hold on, my heart!
G Em
You once were full, and sang of grace!
G C
Hold on! Hold on, my heart!
G Em
You've tasted joy that's more than this. (2x)
G
Hold on!
