Valley of Death Lyrics! [Verse 1: John Cooper] Days in darkness rolling by And how the years betray us And our dreams escape us The world I wanted turned to night Love became a shadow Where did the time go? [Pre-Chorus: John Cooper] Someone said this is all part of the plan But I don't understand [Chorus: John Cooper] Now that I walk through the valley of death You're the light to guide me When I'm lost and can't see I'm holding on with all the strength I can Say you won't forget me 'Cause sometimes I don't believe That I am not alone in the valley of death [Verse 2: John Cooper] Love and laughter turn to tears What will come tomorrow? Is it joy or sorrow? Memories fading through the years Now I've got some smile lines We've had some good times [Pre-Chorus: John Cooper] I can't help wondering how much time is left 'Cause I'm not ready yet [Chorus: John Cooper] Now that I walk through the valley of death You're the light to guide me When I'm lost and can't see I'm holding on with all the strength I can Say you won't forget me 'Cause sometimes I don't believe That I am not alone in the valley of death [Bridge: John Cooper] When I can't carry on Enter into the unknown When I'm with you where I belong When the night's too hard to take And the starlight starts to fade Come and find me, I need to be saved Before it's too late [Chorus: John Cooper, Jen Ledger] Now that I walk through the valley of death You're the light to guide me When I'm lost and can't see I'm holding on with all the strength I can Say you won't forget me 'Cause sometimes I don't believe (I don't believe) [Chorus: John Cooper, Jen Ledger] Now that I walk through the valley of death (Through the valley of death) You're the light to guide me (To guide me) When I'm lost can't see (I can't see) I'm holding on with all the strength I can (With the strength that I can) Say you won't forget me (Forget me) 'Cause sometimes I don't believe (I don't believe) That I am not alone (I am not alone) That I am not alone (I am not alone) That I am not alone In the valley of death
On my way to work and after listening to the first song I switched over to my Spotify and downloaded this album to my Christian Rock playlist, what a blessing to be able to drive to PDX and back listening to this very courageous group, that keeps such a strong faith in a time when the world needs this message that we keep receiving from them !! Thank you John and group for your continuing love you have for all of Gods peoples…God’s blessings to you all.
When I sat in the ER after a particularly intense panic/anxiety attack that they wanted to make sure wasn't anything more serious, this song was a huge comfort. He was with me. I know I should be glad it wasn't anything deadlier, but the fear and the loneliness in those moments was real.
I understand that feeling, like David wrote, "my tears are my food day and night." But the same man wrote, "You turn my mourning into dancing." I hope you're doing better now, God bless you
Thank you for sharing this. I too went through something similar last year. I thought I was having a heart attack and immediately went to ER. I thought I was ding. It ended up being a panic attack. Your right it’s very isolating and hard to to describe the fear of death that comes along with it. I was prescribed medication but I having chosen to go without and receive counseling from my God. I still deal with it in small doses but God has delivered me and still with me holding me and healing me. God Bless ❤
Oh my…have we ever heard John put this much emotion in his voice? This song is…. Wow. So beautiful. Very encouraging, as well. This song was knocked out of the park. Amazing job. Time to go wipe my tears away now
As you get older, lose loved ones and think of your life in general this song really hits the spot. So poignant, poetic and powerful. Thank you for such a moving song Skillet.
What a powerful song! Perfect lyrics and strong message that God is always with us, even in the valley of death. Arguably the best song on this album. Its the best balad, hands down. Needed this song. Thanks Skillet!
This song is devastatingly beautiful. I can't stop listening to it. It gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes. Definitely one of my top songs on the album. Didn't think you could make me feel as much as you did with Refuge, but darn it, you guys did it!
Hands down the best on the album. I love that they left the rawness of John's voice with the beauty of the strings. This is a tear-jerker, beautiful pick me up song.
Skillet is a gift...a gift from God to all of us!! This song gives me goosebumps..in a good way! It's the perfect ballad! It's the perfect message about life's trials and tribulations
Love love love the new album, we’ve lost 6 of our relatives in the last few months. Your music has gotten me through so much. Gods plans are bigger than our own. But his love is unconditional
This Ballad is Epic. Beyond inspiring. I'd love this song to be on the Radio or in a movie! I love the Symphonic aspects coming back to Skillet in this Track!
This is the best skillet album ever! And thats really really saying something! God thank you for this amazing band of amazing people that always know how to lift me up and remind me of your love lord , and of your promise to always be rite beside me through even the darkest of times, Amen.
Not what I was expecting based on the title, (I thought it was going to be one of their harder songs) but man! What an amazing track. As always Skillet is just crushing it
Yeah. When you see the title of this song you think it's like Back From The Dead but no, this feels a lot more like Anchor. And yes, they always crush it.
"Ainda que eu andasse pelo Vale da sombra da morte, não temeria mal algum, porque tu estás comigo; a tua vara e o teu cajado me consolam." Salmos 23:4 🕊️❤️
My sister is battling cancer. This song came to us at the perfect time. I shared this with her after I heard it and she was in tears. It has inspired both of us. Thank you for letting Jesus speak through your music. Rock on!
This has to be my favorite song in the album this album is amazing but this song brought me to tears just the pure emotion well down skillet you will always my favorite band
It's crazy, this album has been out for how long now and I am just now hearing this song. God placed it in my life at the exact time it was needed....... Thanks Skillet
Oh. My. Gosh. This is so beautiful! Brings tears to my eyes! There are no words! 😱 No emoji is sufficient enough to describe this masterpiece. This is like Victorious’s Anchor.
This is the best song on the album, musically, lyrically and production. Absolutely love it!! Great Job Guys thank you for such a beautiful power ballad.
Even the darkness we daily travel though cannot withstand against the piercing light from Him who is always with us. Never lose your faith, and you will prevail.
This song is one of the songs i would sing to my beautiful fur daughter when i had to bring her to the vet for all her visits after she was diagnosed with kidney disease and possible kidney cancer, it was one of the songs that soothed her as she hated car rides, i lost her august 10,2023 and i miss her every day
What beauty, what power, glory to God for this song!!! It's easily the best song of album and one of the best songs in the entire discography by Skillet!
How many days and nights has my heart sang this song? Thank you Skillet for putting lyrics to the song of a heart that feels far too often alone in the Valley of Death until Yeshua reminds me otherwise.
Thank you skillet for making a song that resonates with me so fully! Gotta focus on the light that guides me, and never forget that I am not alone in The Valley of death!
This song reminds me of my dark 7 years of alcoholism. I have damaged family and a marriage that I'm continuing to try and fix. Today I've been sober for 3 1/2 years. Hard to believe I was one second from eating a bullet until a family member stopped me from doing it. Even when you get sober the hard part is only just beginning. It's to get through life's struggles without alcohol. Which is very hard sometimes. I deal with chronic back pain and fibromyalgia now. It's very crippling. Not knowing what tomorrow brings but I keep saying to myself 'there is some purpose for me in this world' I just don't know it yet. It has not been revealed to me yet. You guys get me through the day. That there is a light at the end of the long dark tunnel. I still don't remember those 7 years I've lost. But it will reveal to me when I'm ready. Your songs bring tears to my eyes and was a real treat seeing you live. Hope to see you live again. Thank you for getting me through the hard times.
Skillet has helped me through the hardest times in my life, they always invoke emotions within me, and always remind me that no matter what happens god and the ones you have lost are always with you in spirit constantly helping pull you out of the darkness and revive the light of tge world.
Amazing music, brings tears to my eyes. What a beautiful song and a blessing to listen to in the difficult days we live through in this world. Thank you so much to all of Skillet! ❤
This song (and the whole album) has some of the best lyrics Skillet has ever put out. You can tell they took their time with figuring out what they wanted to say and how to say it. Lyrically nothing sounds like a copy and paste from previous albums. Sound wise the whole album pretty much has every style of skillets career, rock,metal, industrial, contemporary Christian ballads, it’s all there! Best Skillet record ever!
God bless our fallen troops for serving the country we live and breath the air of America and we fall united as brothers and sisters god bless this country
Que c'est beau. Le son de Skillet a atteint sa maturité; tout simplement. Cette balade est empreinte de tristesse et la voix déchiré de John mélangé à celle de Jen viennent faire de cette balade l'une des meilleures que le groupe a composé.
En effet, cher auditeur. Cette ballade capture vraiment le thème général de l'album, de traverser une longue vallée qui s'étend de l'obscurité à la lumière, du désespoir à l'espoir, avec la lumière directrice de Dieu illuminant nos pas.
I usually don't say this. But I haven't cried so hard in so long since the suicide of a good friend. This song......I don't know how to say this. But this is basically how I feel every day. Every word in this song states how I feel and how hard it is for me in life. I don't know what drove them to write this song. But I'm so happy that they did. I love this song so much. A beautiful rendition from the beginning to the end. Thank you Skillet for writing my now favorite song!!

Valley of Death Lyrics!
[Verse 1: John Cooper]
Days in darkness rolling by
And how the years betray us
And our dreams escape us
The world I wanted turned to night
Love became a shadow
Where did the time go?
[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper]
Someone said this is all part of the plan
But I don't understand
[Chorus: John Cooper]
Now that I walk through the valley of death
You're the light to guide me
When I'm lost and can't see
I'm holding on with all the strength I can
Say you won't forget me
'Cause sometimes I don't believe
That I am not alone in the valley of death
[Verse 2: John Cooper]
Love and laughter turn to tears
What will come tomorrow?
Is it joy or sorrow?
Memories fading through the years
Now I've got some smile lines
We've had some good times
[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper]
I can't help wondering how much time is left
'Cause I'm not ready yet
[Chorus: John Cooper]
Now that I walk through the valley of death
You're the light to guide me
When I'm lost and can't see
I'm holding on with all the strength I can
Say you won't forget me
'Cause sometimes I don't believe
That I am not alone in the valley of death
[Bridge: John Cooper]
When I can't carry on
Enter into the unknown
When I'm with you where I belong
When the night's too hard to take
And the starlight starts to fade
Come and find me, I need to be saved
Before it's too late
[Chorus: John Cooper, Jen Ledger]
Now that I walk through the valley of death
You're the light to guide me
When I'm lost and can't see
I'm holding on with all the strength I can
Say you won't forget me
'Cause sometimes I don't believe (I don't believe)
[Chorus: John Cooper, Jen Ledger]
Now that I walk through the valley of death (Through the valley of death)
You're the light to guide me (To guide me)
When I'm lost can't see (I can't see)
I'm holding on with all the strength I can (With the strength that I can)
Say you won't forget me (Forget me)
'Cause sometimes I don't believe (I don't believe)
That I am not alone (I am not alone)
That I am not alone (I am not alone)
That I am not alone
In the valley of death
i can translate to Russian language
... how the years betray us...
... is it joy or sorrow?

Thank you for sharing this. I too went through something similar last year. I thought I was having a heart attack and immediately went to ER. I thought I was ding. It ended up being a panic attack. Your right it’s very isolating and hard to to describe the fear of death that comes along with it. I was prescribed medication but I having chosen to go without and receive counseling from my God. I still deal with it in small doses but God has delivered me and still with me holding me and healing me. God Bless ❤
Been there ❤
Oh my…have we ever heard John put this much emotion in his voice?
This song is…. Wow. So beautiful. Very encouraging, as well.
This song was knocked out of the park. Amazing job.
Time to go wipe my tears away now
Yeah i was thinking the same when I was hearing it. And those goosebumps....
Right?!?! I'm sobbing!!!
In their old song "Lucy"
He goes deep in this song
Tears streaming down my cheeks too
This song is really powerful. I'm grateful for Skillet!!!!
Greatful*

Best ballad by Skillet in years. This was remarkably good! Best song on the album.
I like how it builds up near the end
Love love love the new album, we’ve lost 6 of our relatives in the last few months. Your music has gotten me through so much. Gods plans are bigger than our own. But his love is unconditional
I confess that it was the first time I cried because of a song, it's like I had freed myself from all the bad feelings I've ever had.
I too, also cried the first time I heard this song. This is honestly their best ballad since Rise or Awake imo
This Ballad is Epic. Beyond inspiring. I'd love this song to be on the Radio or in a movie! I love the Symphonic aspects coming back to Skillet in this Track!
Though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death, I Will Fear NO EVIL!!!💯💪🔥🔥🔥 Awesome song.
This is the best skillet album ever! And thats really really saying something! God thank you for this amazing band of amazing people that always know how to lift me up and remind me of your love lord , and of your promise to always be rite beside me through even the darkest of times, Amen.
Incredible ballet. Never quit the fight!!!
this is got to be my favorite song from this album or from any album since Awake and Alive.
Skillet never fails to impress us 🤘
Not what I was expecting based on the title, (I thought it was going to be one of their harder songs) but man! What an amazing track. As always Skillet is just crushing it
yeah me too
Welcome at the club hahaha
Yeah. When you see the title of this song you think it's like Back From The Dead but no, this feels a lot more like Anchor. And yes, they always crush it.
Would love to hear a full orchestra version of this song. One of my favorites off the album.
Valley of Death orchestral version… maybe we’ll see something like that when they release the deluxe edition 😁
@@nataliareali3214 It reminded me of Demon Hunter when they did their Songs Of Death And Resurrection album. But would be a great remake.
Pretty sure this song has literally the most emotion out of all Skillet’s past songs 😊
This or Lucy IMO.
Hard to beat Lucy! This comes close though
Will You Be There and the original live version of Angels Fall Down are beautiful and Korey and John sing so beautifully together.
Ignite, Standing in the storm, Forever or the end and that are the best songs of the whole album !
I agree
I love all of those along with Destroyer and Beyond Incredible. Unbreakable Soul is pre good too imo

Wouldn’t be a Skillet album without the more soft and relaxing songs🖤
Oh wow... this song touches my heart, l love this song so much! Thank you Skillet your songs make my day!
My sister is battling cancer. This song came to us at the perfect time. I shared this with her after I heard it and she was in tears. It has inspired both of us. Thank you for letting Jesus speak through your music. Rock on!
I hope your sister pulls through this battle. I don't pray so often but I'll give a prayer for her
How is she now?
Hope she’s fine rn, this song is really strong because it makes us feel like god is near us when we most need him…
How is she now???
She went to be with Jesus. Her battle is over. She can now enjoy eternity in peace
Deep and powerful song Thank You for sharing with your fans. We love and appreciate you!!!

The hardships is what makes us stronger. We have to make it for those who are no longer with us.
I love it when the drums kick in

Remember, God is close to the broken hearted, so believe he's always close to you, keeping you close to him.
I love this music, is part of important moments of my life. This band is 17 years with me. Thanks SKillet to be my life playlist!
This group just keep pumping out great music
This is the first Skillet song to bring me to tears every time I hear it.
Skillet is one of the best rock bands ever if not THE best. One of my all-time favorites for sure!
This songs gives me the same vibe as Watching for Comets and Anchor. So quiet and meaningful. This is a great song from a great album!
Valley of death not for forever,valley wait for life again.❤
What beauty, what power, glory to God for this song!!! It's easily the best song of album and one of the best songs in the entire discography by Skillet!
Thank you Skillet. Please keep listening to the Lord for all of your lyrics. This song was very helpful to me after suddenly losing my mom.
Skillet I love it❤
I am not aloooone! You are not alone, we all in this together!.
How many days and nights has my heart sang this song? Thank you Skillet for putting lyrics to the song of a heart that feels far too often alone in the Valley of Death until Yeshua reminds me otherwise.
Lovely calm, and a sprinkling of aggressive, perfect music. greetings from Denmark keep up the good work to keep my berserker viking calm
Thank you skillet for making a song that resonates with me so fully!
Gotta focus on the light that guides me, and never forget that I am not alone in The Valley of death!
I listen to this song and I'm crying because of how powerfully true and awesome it is I love Skillets music since the Awake album
This is hitting me real hard right now as I had to meet today with the hospice manager at the hospital my Pop is currently in.
This song reminds me of my dark 7 years of alcoholism. I have damaged family and a marriage that I'm continuing to try and fix. Today I've been sober for 3 1/2 years.
Hard to believe I was one second from eating a bullet until a family member stopped me from doing it. Even when you get sober the hard part is only just beginning. It's to get through life's struggles without alcohol. Which is very hard sometimes.
I deal with chronic back pain and fibromyalgia now. It's very crippling. Not knowing what tomorrow brings but I keep saying to myself 'there is some purpose for me in this world' I just don't know it yet. It has not been revealed to me yet.
You guys get me through the day. That there is a light at the end of the long dark tunnel. I still don't remember those 7 years I've lost. But it will reveal to me when I'm ready.
Your songs bring tears to my eyes and was a real treat seeing you live. Hope to see you live again. Thank you for getting me through the hard times.
Well said, I’m going through this now
Skillet has helped me through the hardest times in my life, they always invoke emotions within me, and always remind me that no matter what happens god and the ones you have lost are always with you in spirit constantly helping pull you out of the darkness and revive the light of tge world.
The ballads on dominon are really good
One of the prettiest songs i ever heard in my life
This song is beautiful! Phenomenal job Skillet!
Thank you God, for Skillet ♥️
I don't feel sad anymore these days but the first listening bring tears to my eyes, so beautiful...Big hello from france!
Even if you’re walking in the VALLEY OF DEATH there will always be someone there for you.
that comforts me i don't want to be there all alone
This song hits me so much. I can’t get enough of it. Especially after loosing a close friend of mine. It’s so beautiful.
I love how Skillet makes new music, but still stands with the “Old time way.” The straight and narrow path. This is so encouraging!
Amazing music, brings tears to my eyes. What a beautiful song and a blessing to listen to in the difficult days we live through in this world. Thank you so much to all of Skillet! ❤
Amo esta canción el sentimiento que trasmite no me arrepiento de escucharlos desde niño ❤️🔥son los mejores ...🖤🎧
This song makes me cry..How God loves me in the valley of death,He will not forsake me....
Amen! God bless you!

You got me 😄

Great song, I want this to be played at my funeral.
Should I laugh or cry at this comment.?
Best Skillet song ever

All I gotta say is just wow very good very encouraging song. Best band ever

Way good song
Strong emotion in this song I even felt it hit me inside. Reminds me of Anchor on a new level.
Amazing song, amazing band, amazing artists, how many feels have you shown in this masterpiece...
