lyrics

The ground could open wide, and swallow me inside
To hear an echo, to see the dark
Stone no light, has ever touched
It’s always been here, the dark the center
Digger of holes, eater of stone
Secret creatures, sacred worms 

Mineral water, cycling seeps
To ancient pools, growing teeth
Under the ground, under where we stand
Walking blind, holding out our hands
Universal tomb, universal womb
Bury me, carry me 

Bottomless, under our feet
Holy darkness, eyes cannot see
Swallowed up, we return, to ancient pools, forgotten forms
We are eaten, becoming other, again a child, again a mother
