 Answer Key

I know my call despite my faults

It's empty in the valley of your heart
And despite my growing fears
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
Chorus x2
And all the faults you've left behind
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
The harvest left no food for you to eat
You can understand dependence
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
When you know the maker's land
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat
So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
Chorus
I will not hear what you have to say
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
‘Cause I need freedom now
On the noose around your neck
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
Chorus x3
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
