about

"The Deep" tells the story of a wretched creature wandering alone on a dark, lifeless planet. He follows a voice in his mind to a great black ocean, and is violently pulled into depths by a mysterious sea being. He is completely destroyed and reformed before emerging onto a bright distant shore...

lyrics

Part 1:
He, Night walker
Stepped softly through the sand
By a Sea of endless black water
At the edge of a dead-gone land

He searched the dark eternal
For she who whispers in sleep
He nightwalker,
Must find her,  

Daughter of the deep
Daughter of the deep

He knew not what he hoped to find
Until that moment on the shore
An echo soft in his mind
A woman's voice so pure

Come, step into the water
Leave behind this endless night
Tis’ I the ocean’s daughter                   
The sea is warm and bright

Part 2:
He pushed through the waves 'til he couldn't touch the floor
He swam through the dark 'til he could paddle no more

He began to sink, reaching for a hold
He thrashed and twisted as he slipped in to the cold

Her voice in his mind grew sharper, louder
He did as she told, and breathed the water

Then warm arms wrapped him, pulled him to the deep


Part 3:              
Down she led him, fast though the dark
The icy water pushing through his heart

Violent shaking, flesh eroding
bones breaking, body imploding

He screamed to die, she wouldn’t hear                      
Stop your cries, we’re nearly there

Part 4:
At the center of the world
A million shining stars
Explosions of creation
Tearing him apart

He, was a disembodied mind
Watching his pieces reform
There at the center of time
Was a perfect creature born

Part 5:
He stirred in the shallows of a new shore
Emerged from the waves and breathed a new air

Then he, once Nightwalker, stepped softly through the sand
At the edge of a strange, bright land
