[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


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


[FIRST CHORUS]
Darkness is kept at bay

Because the light keeps it away

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


And so we take a stand
Our science tools in hand
Reaching down below, examining the source

To synthesize 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


[SECOND CHORUS]
Darkness is kept at bay

Because the light keeps it away
Protects us every day
Surely the light can be remade


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

But as of now it dreams

Under the glimmering
Luminescent glow that twinkles like a spark
Now when it fades we can fight the dark


[SECOND CHORUS]
Darkness is kept at bay

Because the light keeps it away
Protects us every day
Surely the light can be remade
