Mumford And Sons - The Cave lyrics

rate me

It's empty in the valley of your heart<br />

The sun, it rises slowly as you walk<br />

Away from all the fears<br />

And all the faults you've left behind<br />

<br />

The harvest left no food for you to eat<br />

You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see<br />

But I have seen the same<br />

I know the shame in your defeat<br />

<br />

But I will hold on hope<br />

And I won't let you choke<br />

On the noose around your neck<br />

<br />

And I'll find strength in pain<br />

And I will change my ways<br />

I'll know my name as it's called again<br />

<br />

Cause I have other things to fill my time<br />

You take what is yours and I'll take mine<br />

Now let me at the truth<br />

Which will refresh my broken mind<br />

<br />

So tie me to a post and block my ears<br />

I can see widows and orphans through my tears<br />

I know my call despite my faults<br />

And despite my growing fears<br />

<br />

But I will hold on hope<br />

And I won't let you choke<br />

On the noose around your neck<br />

<br />

And I'll find strength in pain<br />

And I will change my ways<br />

I'll know my name as it's called again<br />

<br />

So come out of your cave walking on your hands<br />

And see the world hanging upside down<br />

You can understand dependence<br />

When you know the maker's hand<br />

<br />

So make your siren's call<br />

And sing all you want<br />

I will not hear what you have to say<br />

<br />

Cause I need freedom now<br />

And I need to know how<br />

To live my life as it's meant to be<br />

<br />

And I will hold on hope<br />

And I won't let you choke<br />

On the noose around your neck<br />

<br />

And I'll find strength in pain<br />

And I will change my ways<br />

I'll know my name as it's called again<br />

<br />

<br />
