The Valley of Bones lyrics

By the valley, the dry, dry valley There we sat down, yeah we wept When we remembered, oh we remembered That the breath of life had left The hand of the Lord came down upon me Carried me out to a valley of bone And He said: Son of man, can these bones live? And I stood there, standing all alone By the valley, the dry, dry valley There we sat down, yeah we wept When we remembered, oh we remembered That the breath of life had left So I prophesied just like I was told And the bones came rattling, bone to bone They got the sinew, they got the muscle They got the skin, but they had no soul By the valley, the dry, dry valley There we sat down, yeah we wept When we remembered, oh we remembered That the breath of life had left How many nations look alive today? Full of flesh, full of noise, full of flags and parade But the breath The breath ain't there Then He said: Prophet, call the four winds! Let them breathe on these fallen ones! And they rose up, a mighty army But first they had to know that they were bones! By the valley, the dry, dry valley There we sat down, yeah we wept Oh, by the valley, the dry, dry valley There we sat down, yeah we wept
