Hold Lyrics by Southern Empire

Southern Empire

2016

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Paint the picture on the wall
And watch the seasons fall
Turn the page and put the light out
To fall in love or fall from grace
Here I stand again
Hope is not enough and faith it don't come easy
[Pre-Chorus]
Stand beside me, we'll ride over the hills
And set the forests alight
Do I cry for all I've lost or all I've gained?
Or should I turn around and face the other way?
Will the seasons change or will I find it strange
Standing in the nexus of my own reality?
[Chorus 1]
Hold, this storm will clear
Hold, nothing to fear
Hold, I will be here for you, for you
[Verse 2]
So we rise again as one
Wash away the great divide
We'll build a lighthouse and watch the ships roll in
To see beneath this pale visage
And feel the all pervading love
Wake from years and years of sleeping
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise the torches, we'll shine on
Bring the darkness into light
Do I cry for all I've lost or all I've gained?
Or should I turn around and face the other way?
Will the seasons change or will I find it strange
Standing in the nexus of my own reality?
[Chorus 2]
Hold, this storm will clear
Hold, nothing to fear
Hold, I will be here for you, for you
Hold, this storm will clear
Hold, nothing to fear
Hold, I will be here for you, for you
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
When the road splits apart just hold
Trust in the earth and the sky just like you've been told
And the life you've created, or the way that seems hard
Will bring you the whole of the world
But you'll need to tread lightly at first
And though at times it's not easy, soon your heart will be full
[Chorus 3]
Breathe, open your eyes ever wide
Soon, the path you're on will divide
So now, you must decide which way to go
[Bridge]
I looked into the void before it split in two
But you can't deny that it's moulded you
Relive the shame, break from the mundane
[Chorus 4]
Breathe, open your eyes ever wide
Soon (Oh, so soon), the path you're on will divide
So now, you must decide which way to
Go, there's not much more left to say
Here, are the remains of the day
So now, you must decide which way to go
Hold, this storm will clear
Hold, nothing to fear
Hold, I will be here for you, for you
Hold, this storm will clear
Hold, nothing to fear
Hold, I will be here for you, for you
