"Fire Upon the Deep"
lyrics and music by Benjamin Newman

/ Em - CD Em / - - D Em / - - - C / - D Em - /

Children digging through the attic of their elders in the sky...
They found a dusty cookbook, it fell open to this page,
And they mixed up all the recipes, without ever asking why...
Perhaps they freed some nightmare from its cage?

/ " / " / " / C - D - / Em ... /

For the devil's in the recipe, and he walks the night unseen,
And the secrets of the powers were better left asleep...
And when the devil in the darkness wakes the ghost in the machine,
How many worlds must fall to feed the fire...

	Upon the deep?

Take your secrets and your children, and hide them far below,
Near the deep and stifling slowness, where the devil cannot see.
For you hold the blight's one weakness, in a form you cannot know,
Waiting only for a mind to set it free...

While, in the sky beyond beyond there is a Power on the net,
Searching for some ancient answer, though the price will not be cheap.
Yet if just a shattered remnant can survive the deadly threat...
Well, that just might be enough to quench the fire...

	Upon the deep.

There is war between the stars, and there is war between the packs,
And the devil knows his weakness, he will crush it in his hand.
In the moments that remain before the enemy attacks,
Do you really have the time to understand?

For there's a wave upon the depths that's come to overwhelm the height,
And if you would win the battle, then forever you must sleep.
The shattered god inside you knows the way to end the blight,
And wash away the embers of the fire...

	Upon the deep.
