The Bastard Suns Hold Fast lyrics

(Chorus)
So hold fast. Because you know this too shall pass,
you had a bad run of luck, but it's not gonna last.
Because just when things are looking like they're at their worst,
that's when you gotta take control of the race and claim your place in first.
So hold fast. Because you know this too shall pass,
you had a bad run of luck, but its not gonna last.
Because just when things are looking like they're at their worst
that's when you gotta take control of the race and claim your place in first.

So what, I had a run of bad luck, who gives a fuck?
That ain't never gonna change. My rent is due, my bills are late
and my dog's got mange.
My girl found someone better, my favorite sweater's got moth-sized holes.
Will that tattered, torn fleece ever get some peace?

Man, God only knows.
Cause I can't stop until my death, that's just the way I'll always be.
Cause I've been fighting for my breath since it was first given to me.
And then one day I found a painting of a ragged ship on a wind-tossed sea,
and the plaque read, "Hold fast even when all others turn and flee."
You've got to learn from what you teach
and always practice what you preach
and go once more into the breach
because its just beyond your reach.
The future soon will be the past
And all your troubles, they won't last.
So just remember to always hold fast!
