Letra
God of the nightfall, god of the shade
God of the deep it's you who've made
All of the evening, all of the night
All of the motion without light
God of the darkness, god of the soul
God of the deep dark friendly hole
God of the unseen, cloudy and dim;
God of the hiding, hear this hymn:
Won't you keep us working
Working, working, working;
Won't you keep us working
Working down below
Working down below
Working down below
Working down below
Harmony cannot be denied
Once again we are satisfied
Calm and quiet have been restored
So it is as it was before
Isn't it?
Isn't it?
Isn't it?
Is this it?
Shrinking from the touch of darkness, moaning in the night
Sobbing into melancholy, weeping into fright
Graciousness is not forgotten and into its place
Whispering insinuation finds a fond embrace
Why are we crying
Why are we crying
Everyone's crying
Why are we crying
We must stop crying
Why are we crying
Why are we crying
We must stop crying
We must stop crying
We must stop crying
We must stop crying
It never stops
It never stops
It never stops
It never stops
Leave
We must leave
We must leave
We must leave
There is no home where we reside
If there is nothing down deep inside
Except a serpent sitting beside
A promise of nothing except suicide
Leave
We must leave
We must leave
We must leave
I have been told, deep in my dreams
That there is hope, and that it seems
All that we seek was seen by the sea; yes
Safety and comfort do dwell by the sea
By the sea
By the sea
By the sea
