Nether

[Verse 1]

At the turn of the year came a turn in the weather

A storm blew down the old ash tree

And opened a way to the nether

Riven world was plain to see

Eons hid her in plain sight

The storm she gave eyes to you and me

[Chorus]

To love the light, the fire's spark

You must first have been buried in the deep down dark

Deep down dark

The deep down dark

[Verse 2]

So we followed the line of a barn owl's flight

In those days, in those distant days

And set sail for the nether on the river of night

Wavеs like wolves in the shadows of blazе

Black hails struck like hammer blows

When again will the dead see the bright sun's rays

[Chorus]

To love the light, the fire's spark

You must first have been buried in the deep down dark

Deep down dark

Deep down dark

[Verse 3]

Deep In the nether where the river slows

Reading a map with too many folds

Pulled down forever by the undertows

Till you lift me out of the water's jaws

Up through the gap in the roof of the night

And my bones grow again in the upper light

Pus flies on my skin roots pull me apart

I am green to my eyes and green to my heart

[Chorus]

To love the light, the fire's spark

You must first have been buried in the deep down dark

The deep down dark

The deep down dark

Deep down dark

Deep down dark
