Am G C
[Verse]
Dm Am
At the turn of the year came a turn in the weather
F
A storm blew down the old ash tree
Dm F Am Em Em/G
And opened a way to the nether
Dm Am
Riven world was plain to see
F
Eons hid her in plain sight
Dm Am Am Em Em/G
The storm, she gave eyes to you and me
[Chorus]
Am G C F
To love the light that fired a spark
Am G C F
You must first have been buried in the deep down dark
Am G C
The deep down dark
Am G C
The deep down dark
[Verse]
Dm Am
So we followed the line of a barn owl's flight
F
In those days, in those distant days
Dm F Am Em Em/G
And set sail for the nether on the river of night
Dm Am
Waves like wolves in the shadows ablaze
F
Black hail struck like hammer blows
Dm F Am Em Em/G
When again will the dead see the bright sun's rays?
[Chorus]
Am G C F
To love the light that fired a spark
Am G C F
You must first have been buried in the deep down dark
Am G C
The deep down dark
Am G C
The deep down dark
[Verse]
Dm Am
Deep in the nether where the river slows
F
Reading a map with too many folds
Dm F Am Em G
You were pulled down forever by the undertows
Dm Am
Till you lift me out of the water's jaws
F
Up through a gap in the roof of the night
Dm F Am Em G
And my bones grow again in the upper light
Dm F Am Em G
The pus flies on my skin, roots pull me apart
Dm F Am Em G
I am green to my eyes and green to my heart
[Chorus]
Am G C F
To love the light that fired a spark
Am G C F
You must first have been buried in the deep down dark
Am G C
The deep down dark
Am G C
The deep down dark
