The Deep

There's a chill in the evening There's a whisper in the air That the gates below are opening And it's us that built them there So we hide in our houses But it only buys us time While the earth around us crumbles And the bells they softly chime Won't you please shine a light through my window For the stars have gone to sleep Now the devil's outside And there's nowhere to hide And I hear my name called from the deep He stands in the shadows And he wears a well pressed shirt And his shoes of shining leather Press our faces in the dirt There are countless more just like him But one day we will be free Til then I'll pick my battles And hope that he won't pick on me Won't you please shine a light through my window For the stars have gone to sleep Now the devil's outside And there's nowhere to hide And I hear my name called from the deep
