lyrics

Valley of the Shadow

Watch the red-faced children of the sun,
I know what will make them run
When their best laid plans have come all undone.
In the Valley of the Shadow, x2

Wise men, good men and even saints like me,
Will bow and scrape and fall on their knees
When the sounds of black bells still the breeze
In the Valley of the Shadow, x2

No rest for the weary no light for the blind
No comforting thoughts in anyone’s mind
Angels and demons searching to find
In the Valley of the Shadow, x4

When you talk about my God, you’d better fall on your knees x2

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho,
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho and the walls came tumblin’ down…
