Lyrics Voices of the Deep - Portraits

Voices of the Deep

And they let it go, primeval sea
It surged over land.
wiping it clean
And they let it go.
primeval sea
It surged over land.
wiping it clean
A dream came to me.
an ocean deep
And light turns to black, under the sea
And they let it go, primeval sea
It surged over land, wiping it clean…
All that was built now falls away
Light of evening star is fading
What have we done to seal this fate?
Are we not even worth saving?
Can the shattered pot be put right
Hand in hand I must preserve a story lost to sight
What do these wedge shaped letters mean?
Stories less than voices gone
Lessons forgotten now unseen
So many voices lost to violence
Can the tattered book be put right?
Fit the pieces back
To bring the voices back to life!
Falling apart again.
turning to dust
Falling apart again, turning to dust
Crushing down again, fade to black
Water floods the land, fade to black
Crushing down again, fade to black
Water floods the land, bring it back
Resurrect from rubble, reemerge dust
Hear the words of rubble, reemerge from dust
As the walls now crumble, persevere we must
Desecrated dust!
Desecrated dust!
Resurrect from rubble, reemerge dust
Hear the words of rubble, reemerge from dust
As the walls they crumble, persevere with just
Desecrated dust!
Can you hear me now?
Here these words, we were first to emerge
From the flood where our people converged
From the depths we emerge
From the darkness our stories are heard!
Here these words, we were first to emerge
From the flood where our people converged
From the depths we emerge
From the darkness our stories are heard!
From the depths we emerge
From the darkness our stories are heard!
