[Verse]
              
It's empty in 

            
the valley of 

     
your heart
              
The sun, it ri

            
ses slowly as 

    
you walk
              
Away from all 

    
the fears
             
And all the fa

            
ults you've le

            
ft behind

              
The harvest le

            
ft no food for

        
 you to eat
              
You cannibal, 

            
you meat-eater

      
, you see
              
But I have see

I know the sha

[Chorus]
            
But I will hol

     
d on hope
            
And I won't le

      
t you choke
            
On the noose a

           
round your nec

k

            
And I'll find 

           
strength in pa

in
           
And I will cha
