Vernon began to sing softly lulling Jack and Katlin to sleep. it was a song he heard once or twice while in captavity, and he memorized it, as he had so many others.<br/><br/>"It's empty in the valley of your heart<br/>The sun, it rises slowly as you walk<br/>Away from all the fears<br/>And all the faults you've left behind<br/><br/>The harvest left no food for you to eat<br/>You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see<br/>But I have seen the same<br/>I know the shame in your defeat<br/><br/>But I will hold on hope<br/>And I won't let you choke<br/>On the noose around your neck<br/><br/>And I'll find strength in pain<br/>And I will change my ways<br/>I'll know my name as it's called again<br/><br/>Cause I have other things to fill my time<br/>You take what is yours and I'll take mine<br/>Now let me at the truth<br/>Which will refresh my broken mind<br/><br/>So tie me to a post and block my ears<br/>I can see widows and orphans through my tears<br/>I know my call despite my faults<br/>And despite my growing fears<br/><br/>But I will hold on hope<br/>And I won't let you choke<br/>On the noose around your neck<br/><br/>And I'll find strength in pain<br/>And I will change my ways<br/>I'll know my name as it's called again<br/><br/>So come out of your cave walking on your hands<br/>And see the world hanging upside down<br/>You can understand dependence<br/>When you know the maker's hand<br/><br/>So make your siren's call<br/>And sing all you want<br/>I will not hear what you have to say<br/><br/>Cause I need freedom now<br/>And I need to know how<br/>To live my life as it's meant to be<br/><br/>And I will hold on hope<br/>And I won't let you choke<br/>On the noose around your neck<br/><br/>And I'll find strength in pain<br/>And I will change my ways<br/>I'll know my name as it's called again....."
