The Cave - Mumford & Sons (on screen lyrics)

The Cave
By the Indie/Folk rock band: Mumford & Sons.

with on screen lyrics!

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 hand

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

[DubstepVilliana]

I had to pee the whole song, but I didn't went to the toilet 'till it was over O_o

@DubstepVilliana Geez!!! TMI! keep it to yourself... GROSS.

I actually think this is really close to being the quintessential "perfect" song, at least according to my view of perfect.

I absolutely love how it starts completely slow, with very little instrumental backup to the vocals, and then with each verse the instruments and the verse slowly build up in intensity until going back to soft at "come out of your cave walking on your hands".

40 people dislike this because they hate this song. No puns.

Best folk rock band today? Try ever?

[claynpendleton]

One of the best bands to come out of England since the Beatles...maybe even better considering they are in their early years. See "Gentlemen of the Road" and you'll know what I mean.
