Leviathan Lyrics



Legend speaks of a beast

Three hundred miles from it's tip to it's tail

None have seen it, yet all know it's name

Like the ark of the covenant, or the holy grail



We set out on a quest

In search of the lair, where the creature doth dwell

On a ransom to bring back it's head

Our journey would take us to the depths of hell



His eyes shine like the rays of morning

His mouth is as a burning flame



Leviathan

Cresting the waves

Leading us all to the grave

Leviathan

Slaying all foes

Who dare to oppose

Tearing bodies limb from limb

Eviscerating on a whim



The skies turned to black

The oceans fell dead, no winds dared to blow

Then out the darkness with a thunderous roar

Leviathan rose up from the depths below



Cannons fired, and swords tasted blood

As the beast turned to strike with rage in it's eyes

From it's mouth came a great ball of flame

It was then we all knew, that the end was nigh



His eyes shine like the rays of morning

His mouth is as a burning flame



Leviathan

Cresting the waves

Leading us all to the grave

Leviathan

Slaying all foes

Who dare to oppose

Tearing bodies limb from limb

Eviscerating on a whim



His eyes shine like the rays of morning

His mouth is as a burning flame

His nostrils seethe with fumes of brimstone

He is the beast that can't be tamed



Leviathan

Cresting the waves

Leading us all to the grave

Leviathan

Slaying all foes

Who dare to oppose

Tearing bodies limb from limb

Eviscerating on a whim.
