The Leviathan Lyrics

Album: Primal

we set sail for home from these new lands

for conquest is the only thing we know

this vast expanse of deepest, darkest water

the cost of our destruction waits below

the leviathan brings only death

taking vengeance for those we have wronged

from the ocean's immeasurable depth

it ascends with a deafening song

the sky is as black as our hearts

and the rain can not wash away sin

to bring balance it will claim our souls

was our callousness ever so bold?

with a spear for each of our hands

"take up arms, men" the captain commands

"this beast will not take us so quick

with its blood, the water runs thick!"

we are lost at sea

when we set out to explore, we never expected to find inhabited lands

though the natives were kind, we exploited their ignorance and took all they had

we thought they were savages, but the true savagery rose up from inside of us like bile

we did unspeakable things…things no one should ever have to endure

it was as if we were possessed by some force other than our own wills

i don't expect this to reach you, nor to ever see you again, but please, consider this my sincerest apology

we are lost at sea

the leviathan brings only death

taking vengeance for those we have wronged

from the ocean's immeasurable depth

it ascends with a deafening song

the sky is as black as our hearts

and the rain can not wash away sin

to bring balance it will claim our souls

was our callousness ever so bold?

"take up arms, men" the captain commands

a spear for each of our hands

"this beast will not take us so quick

it will drown in its blood!"
