Dead South, The - Into The Valley Lyrics






Don't you stray away from where you truly are
As the water's dripping down you'll go and find your faith
I know you want to know but not knowing is what makes you whole

And we'll walk into the valley
Where the Piper Man will play
And you're looking for some answers
But that's where the gallows wait

When the winds come you'll go and build your house
Your wife will bear you children: a son, two daughters
How will you keep the wolves out?

And we'll walk into the valley
Where the Piper Man will play
And you're looking for some answers
But that's where the gallows wait

The day you go looking for your answers the tide pulls you out
No house, no son, no daughters: your quest is filling you with doubt
Beaten by defeat your head hangs between your knees
Driven mad with rage you go and you burn it all down

And we'll walk into the valley
Where a Piper Man still plays
And you find yourself no answers
But still the gallows wait

And we'll walk into the valley
Where the Piper Man still plays
And you found yourself no answers
You have only diggen a grave

Dead South, The Into The Valley Comments
  1. m.... j....

    ok, ithought they where spezial..but this is also a casted boygroup! look at all that symboligy..u will not make it in the muzic buissness without Luzifers suport,right? Fairy tales!

  2. J.... R....

    Just found this song today, 2020... why havent I heard this before!

  3. A.... M....

    Fuck dude...

    Just... just ... holy fuck. Did you mean to tear out my soul?

    I legit had to STOP my god damn playlist second song in. For like 20 minutes I've been sitting in silence just absorbing what ya'll just put me through.

  4. S.... D....

    I love this song so much. I wish it had a music video with it! :)

  5. N.... N....

    How long has this band been around??? I just accidentally come across them one day and can't stop listening to them. I hope they come to Nashville TN soon

  6. V.... S....

    is the didgeridoo computer generated or a recording?

  7. b.... ....

    Горите в аду с рекламой своей

  8. M.... H....

    I wish it was Thundering outside right now. It just reminds me as a kid listening to music during a ThunderStorm and the rain bouncing off our tin roof. When I was a kid having a tin roof meant you were dirt poor not rich.

  9. s.... ....

    favourite song by far

  10. m.... o....

    who are the ones who don't like this!!?

  11. D.... P....

    damn just realized the energy is the same as sons and daughters by Decemberists

  12. T.... ....

    So the ad says, "What if you were visited by Jesus Christ?"... Well, I'd give him a Guinness and a bacon cheeseburger, welcome him to the new world and proceed to hide him from the Jews.

  13. M.... ....

    From U.K. I will now be buying everything I can get my hands on.

  14. D.... N....

    This is a great song!

  15. M.... N....

    Wie geil!!! Einfach nur geil!

  16. B.... ....

    Definitely a song for Dutch and his gang. Outlaws forever ........

  17. N.... G....

    Buen grupo y buena musica. Todo un descubrimiento. Saludos desde Euskadi.

  18. J.... W....

    Oh I guess there IS good music in every genre. Suck it, Shania..

  19. r.... v....

    I love the roll they have, pure essence and authentic if they come to Spain live I'll see them

  20. D.... G....

    My college just put on a play called Wiley and the Hairy man, and we used this song in the opening music. I love this song now

  21. B.... ....

    Moral of the story? Find what you love and let it kill you. Following what others expect of you only leads to trapping yourself in an infinite hole of sadness. Sell your life to what truly makes you feel alive and live free and wild until your body meets the ground for the last time. Dont die with regrets

  22. P.... D....

    Discovered The dead south by accident last week , haven’t stopped listening since already checked out dates for UK later this year. Hopefully can do the vip meet and greet in Northampton in June 👍

  23. C.... G....

    I've only just discovered The Dead South in 2019! All those years I wasted!!! :'(

    C.... G....

    Same here!!

    C.... G....

    I just found them myself this week....and now its non stop Dead South

    C.... G....

    Arrghhh...me too! What a waste of all those past years

    C.... G....

    Same. :(

    C.... G....

    I know right?

  24. J.... P....

    Fuckin Canadiens....... first they get me with their hockey... then they drag me back to my dad's music from when I was a kid.... only thing better was when my kids were born......

    J.... P....

    Canadians! They are from Saskatchewan so they are Canadian. From Quebec you would be Canadien.

  25. C.... D....

    super !!!

  26. T.... H....

    As a Paramedic, this song describes what 19 years on an Ambulance has taken me. I have a wife, 2 daughters, and a son. These lyrics feel like they were written for me. They brought me to tears. Thank you.

    T.... H....

    You are much appreciated ! noble profession. Hope things are going well for you.

    T.... H....

    Sounds like you got a hell of a story to tell. Thank you for your service

    T.... H....

    More than some should see, and I have had friends who couldn't deal with the pain and ended that pain themselves. I love what I do, I am good at it, but I have my demons that I wrestle with, and I have crawled into a bottle a few times. I am exceptionally lucky that I have an amazing support system in my wife and kids. They are where I find my strength. This song sings to my soul.

    If you're interested in a Paramedic's grief, look up Angel of Death by Sequoia Rain......It was written and sung by Paramedics. It is my go to Shower beer, crying song for the bad, bad days......Thank you for your kind words. Both of you.

    T.... H....

    EMT from Mexico, I know the feeling bro, every time I was with a patient I knew that one day maybe that could be my girl, my mom or dad, and this song just pops in to my head "how will you keep the wolves out?"

  27. j.... o....

    ah right...not a banjo version of "the skids" then!? :/

  28. P.... P....

    Wow from Scotland

  29. F.... ....

    Man I just stumbled on you guys today. I feel like I need to catch my breath or something, but I haven't moved for the last few hours, just keep listening. Wow.

  30. A.... C....

    COME TO AMISH COUNTRY, OHIO USA!!!! YOU CAN PLAY AT THE AMISH DOOR RESTAURANT/INN!!!! I live right down the road it would be epic AF!!!

  31. K.... H....

    God damn. Just God damn. How does a band go from a song about fucking your cousin to this? This shit has soul, and I love it. This band is something else, love the range of tone.

  32. R.... M....

    I have found my new favorite band! This Geoegia girl loves you guys! Absolutely awesome!!

  33. D.... Z....

    Sympa ce groupe, je vous recommande la reprise du classique des Animals 'The house of the rising sun' et ' In hell I'm in good company'

  34. T.... P....

    Why no Maine gigs, lots of us feel more Canadian right about (Trump) now...and we’re just a few clicks from Maritime Canada (and Quebec)

  35. T.... S....

    If I have to be addicted to something, this is the best choice! I can't stop listening. Bought one cd so far. Will buy the next one shortly. My new goal in life is to see and meet the boys in the band. And the new lady of course! And then to meetand see Nathaniel Ratelif & the night sweats that I found by chance after stumbling on to Dead South.

    T.... S....

    OMG thank you for mentioning Nathaniel Ratelief - I hadn't heard of him, but now I am almost as addicted to him as to these guys!!

  36. L.... D....

    The cello and harmonies. 💓

  37. A.... T....

    Love it years later.. thank you

  38. G.... B....

  40. T.... S....

    I don't know what moves me more, those leading vocals or those haunting background vocals. Dear Lord I need to meet these guys!

  41. A.... D....

    Love it! Greetings from Poland :)

    A.... D....

    L.... P....

  48. L.... E....

    I fuck with these lyrics so hard

  49. m.... ....

  50. B.... N....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aerg3LphvbE Similar ?

  51. T.... T....

    YouTube is up to some fuckery, I was looking for this song in my liked vids and apparently I disliked it?? This is one of my favorite songs YouTube can fuck off, I know I hit like on this song but now I'm adding it to my favorites too.

  52. J.... A....

    Does anyone know the chords for this?

    J.... A....

    it's not too difficult; they use barré chords which I don't know the names of, but you can also try Dm, B, C, that's basically the chords they use (sorry, I figure out songs by listening :) ) Have fun! It's a damn good deep song to play

  53. B.... D....

    I like anything about music that shows true musical talent. I don't play but I recognize pure talent and this is definition of talented musicians who are making their way to glory
    I found you 3 weeks ago and I will be seeing you live asap. We run oh down south to east Tennessee I hope.

  54. K.... J....

    Don't you stray away from where you truly are
    As the water's dripping down you'll go and find your faith
    I know you want to know
    But not knowing is what makes you whole

    And we'll walk into the valley where the Piper Man will play
    And you're looking for some answers
    But that's where the gallow's wait

    When the winds come you'll go and build your house
    Your wife will bear you children: a son, two daughters
    How will you keep the wolves out?

    And we'll walk into the valley where the Piper Man will play
    And you're looking for some answers
    But that's where the gallow's wait

    The day you go looking for your answers the tide pulls you out
    No house, no son, no daughters: your quest is filling you with doubt
    Beaten by defeat your head hangs between your knees
    Driven mad with rage you go and you burn it all down

    And we'll walk into the valley where a Piper Man still plays
    And you find yourself no answers
    But still the gallow's wait

    And we'll walk into the valley where the Piper Man still plays
    And you found yourself no answers
    You have only diggen a grave

    Already posted

  55. J.... S....

    I've liked about everything I've heard these guys do, don't know why you don't anything from them on the radio

    J.... S....

    Joe Schmoe Because these guys are actually good 😂

    J.... S....

    Radio is racist

  56. I.... ....

    Wow. I just can't stop listening.

    A song I think about the quest for ultimate truths and the inevitable ruin that results.

    I.... ....

    I think he is talking about Job's story from the Bible. It's similar.

    I.... ....

    Look up the story of Job and his daughters.

  57. C.... M....

    Makes me think of a better Dave Matthews Band

  58. F.... E....

    Amazing music. Definitely will be following these guys.

  59. N.... M....

  64. J.... ....

    Stoked for Aug 16 2017...when they play in Thunder Bay!

  65. 1.... ....

    I came across these guys today by accident. Never heard of them - or anything like it - before. Now I'm going to order their music from Amazon!

  66. G.... b....

    awesome! So spiritual!

  67. E.... M....

    Thank's for the performance in H-Limmer

  68. D.... L....

    you guys have to come to Bean Blossom in Indiana

  69. T.... ....

    Amazing talent, truly some of the best music made (semi-)recently. LL The Dead South

  70. J.... F....

    love that sound, pound key black grass

  71. T.... ....

    love your music cant get enough!!

  72. n.... C....

    I didn't know them until last week and now I just can't stop listening to their music.
    And I am really looking forward to hear them in Magdeburg in May!

  73. C.... R....

    Virei fã desses caras. Venham conhecer o Brasil.

  74. s.... ....

    I'm generally a metal head. These guys have a darkness that I like. Also good to see Canadians do good. Hello from Alberta!! Fuck the flames!!

    s.... ....

    Have a look at "Dark Country" as a search on Youtube.  I'm into a very eclectic range of music myself not only modern but some classical and even tuvan throat singing and native American, taiko drumming you name it but if you're a metal head who likes these guys, try "Dark Western" and related stuff. You'll love some of that.

    s.... ....

    THE BANJO PLAYER IS A METAL GUITARIST AND HAD NEVER TOUCHED A BANJO BEFORE PICKING IT UP TO LEARN FOR THIS BAND. DEF SEE IT COMING THROUGH IN SOME OF THE BANJO LINES FOR SURE

    s.... ....

    It's not the darkness, it's about light for You...and it is working, generally...They probably saved my life, so...well, it works....

    s.... ....

    Same here. I listen mostly to punk and death metal. But a real music fan or a musician knows talent when you hear it. These guys are talent and originality personified. Its so goddamn hard to find real talent and originality these days. I crave it and it's a very rare thing. But when you find it, you know, and for me personally, its inspiring as hell.

    I hadn't played my guitar in 6 years, for various reasons. I listened to 3 Dead South songs and had to dust that bitch off. I've written 8 songs in the last month and I'm playing at least 2 or 3 hours a day again. I feel like I'm alive again. It was a combination of influences that brought me back to life but Dead South was one of the big ones. I actually feel like I owe them a debt. . .they've made my life better.

  75. J.... S....

    bought all their music online last week and love it it! My only complaint is i wish i could have bought it on vinyl. Great band!!!

    J.... S....

    Jay Sun Bay Lore you can buy it on vinyl lol

  76. D.... 1....

    id like to see them live do you ever play in San Antonio

  77. V.... M....

    Je trouve ça puissant !

    V.... M....

    Il faut les voir en concert ils sont top. Génial en sortant j'avais envie du retourner

  78. E.... p....

    you guys rock the shit

  79. R.... M....

    A buddy turned me on to The Dead South back in January. Hasn''t been a day since that I didn't listened to them. Killer Fuckin Band!!!

  80. G.... P....

    what do the wolves symbolize in this song?

    G.... P....

    Gage Pitrone Id imagine your "Demons" or alternatively it's referring to evil men like murderers rapists gangsters etc.

    G.... P....

    could be ones own fears

    G.... P....

    @Gage Pitrone - it makes me think of what I believe is a Native American analogy where you have a light wolf and a dark wolf and you must arbitrate between them. Although in the song it doesn't seem to differentiate.

    (on a side note, in the Norse tradition Odin has 2 wolves, and in ancient Greek philosophy there's the analogy of a light and a dark horse pulling a chariot, with the dark horse being passionate and wanting to go his own direction whereas the white horse tries to stay on course. The more ya know!)

    G.... P....

    to keep the wolf away from the door - basically it means to keep stravation or financial ruins away.

    G.... P....

    I like Fukup's idea, but I think it's just protecting his kids from the potential dangers of the world.

  81. N.... D....

    da 0.06 fino a 13.00 ha scassato

  82. J.... M....

    yup...yet another great one
