Mumford & Sons





The Cave



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
