The Cave

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
 I 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
 'Cause I need freedom now
 And I need to know how
 To live my life as it's meant to be
 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
