Birdhouse Lyrics by Shadrow

Caught Off​-​Guard

2014

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Darkness is kept at bay
Because the light keeps it away

[Refrain]
There's something lurking at the bottom of the sea

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And so we take a stand
Our science tools in hand
Reaching down below, examining the source
To synthesise 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

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
There's something lurking at the bottom of the sea

[Verse 3]
Forever lurking down below
A million leagues beneath the flow
Lies something awful, deathly so

[Pre-Chorus]
But as of now, it dreams
Under the glimmering
Luminescent glow that twinkles like a spark
It keeps the beast cloaked within the dark

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