Quiet as the secret you keep
Still in your heart as you sleep
Old as the lay of the land
Cold as all matters at hand
Long as the river of song Mad as the world it moves on
High as the heavenly sea
Low lays the devil in me
High as the heavenly sea
Low lays the devil in me. Straight as the wood of the cross
Wild as all the love that you've lost
Sure as inside the egg lies the yolk
I'm standing outside the gates of Hell And I'll keep singing 'til I choke
High as the heavenly sea
Low lays the devil in me
High as the heavenly sea
Low lays the devil in me.
