Shadrow - Birdhouse Lyrics

Forever lurking down below
A million leagues beneath the flow
Lies something awful, deathly so
A shapeless twisting evil beast
The rotting stench of the deceased
A thousand mouths with which to feast

But as of now it dreams
Under the glimmering
Luminescent glow that twinkles like a spark
It keeps the beast cloaked within the dark

The ripples of the light
Protect us in the night
Moving out, beyond the sea and for the land
Forever hiding beneath the sand

Darkness is kept at bay
Because the light keeps it away

There's something lurking at the bottom of the sea

The light is still down there today
Keeping the evil beast away
But we know it's not here to stay
We need to find some way to strive
To help our species spread and thrive
To keep our very souls alive

And so we take a stand
Our science tools in hand
Reaching down below, examining the source
To synthesize and to reinforce

We've got a prototype
We use it every night
Turn it on before you flip the other ones
Now we'll be safe when it eats the sun

Darkness is kept at bay
Because the light keeps it away
Protects us every day
Surely the light can be remade

There's something lurking at the bottom of the sea

Forever lurking down below
A million leagues beneath the flow
Lies something awful, deathly so

But as of now it dreams
Under the glimmering
Luminescent glow that twinkles like a spark
Now when it fades we can fight the dark

Darkness is kept at bay
Because the light keeps it away
Protects us every day
Surely the light can be remade
