The Cave Lyrics By: Mumford and Sons


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



I love this song so much, many lyrics of it have been changed in to facebook status'. the line that always gets me is "cause I need freedom now, and I need to know how, to live my life as it's meant to be" Everytime I hear that I just think of everyone breaking free of their struggles and just being happy and living life in the moment, isn't that what we all want/ to just live for once?

  1. Ditto on loving this song. My favorite line is,"And I'll find strength in pain/and I will change my ways."
    In the beginning of January, I was going through a lot of weird stuff (or just being emo?) and listened to that a lot. I was hoping to gain insight, and strength from my bad times. It worked out pretty well.
    I think the rest of this album isn't very good though.Have you heard it?
