Lyrics
It's empty in the valley of your heart

The sun it rises, slowly as you walk

Away from all the fears, and all the faults

You've left behind

The harvest left no food for you to eat

You cannibal, you meat-eater you see

But I have seen the same, I know the shame

In your defeat

But I will hold on hope

And I won't let you choke

On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain

And I will change my ways

I'll know my name as it's called again

'Cause I have other things to fill my time

You take what is yours and I'll take mine

Now let me at the truth which will

Refresh my broken mind

So tie me to a post and block my ears

I can see widows and orphans through

My tears

And know my call despite my faults and

Despite my growing fears

But I will hold on hope

And I won't let you choke

On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain

And I will change my ways

I'll know my name as it's called again

So come out of your cave, walking on

Your hands

And see the world, hanging upside down

You can understand dependence when

You know the maker's land

So make your siren's call

And sing all you want

I will not hear what you have to say

And I will hold on hope

And I won't let you choke

On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain

And I will change my ways

I'll know my name as it's called again
