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
