Story Behind the Song 
Holding on to those you love when crises beyond your reach take over.
Lyrics 
HOLD TIGHT, MY BLOOD
 
 
 Hold tight, my blood, we're thick in mud
 I hold thee to my chest
 Watch with fear a waning ear
 And then we go to rest
 
 I turn my eye to our fair sky
 As happens every morn
 To these halls and crumbling walls
 My blood, I am sworn
 
 Hold tight, my son, you're not the one
 To wage this war alone
 Upon your knees you stated your pleas
 And now the time has come
 
 To hold you when you triumphed
 And when you've lost your step
 Hold tight, my son, it's every song
 We've laid our hearts down for yet
 
 Well I know we can't see everything straight
 And all we've got is our home
 But as first one here throughout the years
 I pledge my skin and bone
 
 Hold tight, my dear, there once was a year
 When you were born anew
 And everything I had to fear
 I gave a welcome to
 
 But now it seems to look away 
 Is to begin to run
 Well if we wind up 'cross divides
 You and I are one
 
 Hold tight, my love
 I have no questions to answer to
 Sacrificed them all when we became
 The iris I look through
 
 Hold tight, my blood, we're thick in mud
 I hold thee to my chest
 Watch with fear a waning ear
 And then we go to rest
 
 Well I know we can't see everything straight
 And everything isn't set
 Hold tight, my blood, we're thick in mud
 But they ain't got us yet
 
 Hold tight, my blood, we're thick in mud
 But they ain't got us yet
