The Valley - The Oh Hellos

We were born in the valley,
Of the dead and the wicked,
That our father's father found,
And where we laid him down.
We were born in the shadows,
Of the crimes of our fathers.
Blood was our inheritance.
No, we did not ask for this.

Will you lead me?

We were young when we heard you,
Call our name in the silence.
Like a fire in the dark.
Like a sword upon our hearts.
We came down to the water and we begged for forgiveness;
Shadows lurking close behind,
We were fleeing for our lives.

Will you lead me?
