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

歌詞大意：你的心中空空蕩蕩，

你伴隨著升起的朝陽行走著，

遠離所有的恐懼，

以及所有你過去留下的缺點。

收穫沒有賜予你食物，

你是食人魔，你吃人肉的，你知道。

但我也同樣知道，

我知道你失敗的恥辱，

但我會堅持下去希望。

我不會讓在你脖子上的絞索使你窒息的。

我會在痛苦中找到力量，

我將會改變我的方式，

當它再呼喚我時，我將知道我的名字。

所以親自走出你的洞穴，

看看這個顛倒的世界。

當你了解了創造者的土地，

你就能理解、依賴。

所以讓汽笛響起，

唱出你想要的一切。

我將不會聽到你絮說的話語，

因為我現在需要自由了。

並且我需要知道怎樣去有意義地活好人生。

我將會堅持希望，

我不會讓你脖子上的絞索使你窒息，

我會在痛苦中找到力量，

我將會改變我的方式，

我將會改變我的方式，

當它再呼喚我時，我將知道我的名字。
