Living Down Below
Inhabitants are living deep down inside the earth
Interstitial creatures following their birth
Waiting, watching deep inside they hide
In the darkness never seeing simply they abide
Freezing cold and blistering heat they flourish like the trees
But who can tell they’re even there in the land that never sees
Without a nation, without a light
Abiding in the land of night
If I hadn’t told you now, you’d probably not know
Most of life upon this earth is living down below
