Verse 1 
Empty hands reach out to be rescued 
But humanity hides the guide 
The friend's forbidden even being mentioned 
The possession of lies cover eyes 
And as they continue to fight 
Outspoken are those who know what is right 
They hide in the shadows with fear of false cheers 
If they open their mouths, passing faith through ears 

Chorus 
Doesn't matter who is spreading the truth 
Long as the truth is being spread 
If no one's spreading the truth 
The hungry will remain unfed 
The empty hearts will stay misled 
As they walk through the valley of the dead 
The empty hearts will stay misled 
As they walk through the valley of the dead 

Verse 2 
Lost hope as they suffer along 
In search of any possible escape 
Dreaming of redemption 
Pleading for an answer before it's too late 
As they cry out with no reply 
They feel no one knows the answer why 
Nothing left, left to expect 
No wisdom of words fill the air's dialect 

Chorus 
Doesn't matter who is spreading the truth 
Long as the truth is being spread 
If no one's spreading the truth 
The hungry will remain unfed 
The empty hearts will stay misled 
As they walk through the valley of the dead 
The empty hearts will stay misled 
As they walk through the valley of the dead

Chorus 
Doesn't matter who is spreading the truth 
Long as the truth is being spread 
If no one's spreading the truth 
The hungry will remain unfed 
The empty hearts will stay misled 
As they walk through the valley of the dead 
The empty hearts will stay misled 
As they walk through the valley of the dead
