Your charming words, they've got a way They brought me to your door And though your words are poisoned knives I want more Your honeyed lips, they spun a tale Of what we could have been Was I to blame when you became Leviathan Lies, Your Lies Your clever little lies Lies, Your Lies I'm lured in by your lies

Everyday I get confused Washing in the wrong river Washed out in the wrong flood But I know myself enough Not to treat myself so rough Love won't let me go I'm going to shake my, shake my hands And be bigger thank Leviathan You think you won't get stuck Washing in the wrong river Honey, face down in the muck Oh don't treat yourself so tough Love won't let you go, Love won't let you go Don't hold me back, Don't make me mad The only dream I've ever had I just want to shake my hands and be bigger than Leviathan I'm going to shake my, shake my hands and be bigger thank Leviathan

I made a noise that suggested that I want to be someone else please You took your time to recognise I’m paralysed from the lack of anything to do And I said to you, said to you, said to you, I’m not a sea creature I’m a Leviathan I had a glance and decided that I couldn’t see straight through you And you represent my own intent to do anything and everything i choose And I said to you, said to you, said to you, I’m not a sea creature I’m a Leviathan

I couldn't be anymore grateful And still feel this hateful Guess I'll just put on Goliathan And get higher than A camel's eye and then Just pretend I'm not sick to death of the violence Not sick of shouting and feeling like my lifestyle implies complicit silence Cue the tiniest man in the world And his tiny violins There's nothing right with this We'll give it back to the fire and Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn Ashes to ashes Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn If ya f&%k it up the first time... Try again. The master has failed more times than the apprentices attempts So if your checkered past of failures has your patience wearing thin Don't give up Don't give in You can move mountains, kid Bury mole hills You are God You can slay the Leviathan And if still nothing is right We'll give it back to the fire and Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn Ashes to ashes Let it burn Let it burn Let it burn Dust to dust

Here I live in my lamentable loch I see your creepy ass down by the dock I live beneath this sea Swim by you can’t hear me Fearful lasses shake climbing up the rock Yes I know one like you hiding brock This deep stinking hole is one God doth mock Changed names when the Christians came Though I hold none with shame Leviathan! An evil serpent shock!

Underwater briny shrimp with the fits He so volatile and shaky with a trident drawn Tumble diamonds in the face of Aphrodite’s spawn And you can step inside of him, the leviathan Infinitesimal but shaky hips Locomotion in his ocean like a water jet And it’s a bowlful of happiness and instant pets And you can live in sight of him, the leviathan Magnify your little friend, step inside of him Archie Comics and irreverent pages Many a 12-year-old fancied that Step inside to see the kitsch of the ages X-ray glasses or a vampire bat Magnify to see commotion inside Motor over through the water to a fair coquette Make way he’s coming no sea-monkey managed yet to get Out of the way of him, the leviathan And he’ll be watching her performing tricks Spirulina ballerina on a dim-lit night Face to waist embracing her and holding tight And you can say goodbye to him, the leviathan

Whitecapped mountains ringed the lot sun shared light, not heat. My mind like a Leviathan Rising from the deep, never more to sleep. Tried to remember home Nothing came to mind No memory of any love Just the sound of the wind I guess that I was right. Pick up and pack up this absence move it along. This is just a station on the way. A temporal graveyard Nothing stays long bone magnet pulls them To a better place. The last payphone in existence Ringing now for you Outside the Trailways station No one else around you know what to do Pick up the reciever Hold it to your ear A distant dead voice whispers Start to shake with fear And you don't want to hear It says "death is the best Get here and we'll do the rest"

(Screams) Leviathan I hear you I hear you calling from the deep Swimming in a sea of regrets Feeling the pain of your sin Leviathan I hear you How could you let me forget The pain you feel inside is set Leviathan I hear you I can not let you win Leviathan I hear you Terror mounted the globes Leviathan I felt you breathe When your silence was broken in the deep When your blind blood boiled, the Lord felt it too Sending me to take care of you That suck on agonies like a leech drinking blood The absolute thrust of love is dying Shinning light in the darkened sky With the thrust of my knife Sparkling over the seas, spinning the ice of a slumbering galaxy Hunger is no more The sun pines high tide Grey in the drifting light God the table is all set Leviathan I don't hear you......anymore

The sea, she rises and falls and it don't mean nothin at all That's what they say to me, but I don't believe them Somethin is lurking beneath More than the eye can see Some say it's a beast They call it leviathan The moon, she emptues and fills And just when you thought you were standing still You noticed your knees were shakin There's somethin on high and it ain't just up in the sky And it ain't no lie You can't escape it There's somethin dwelling within Underneath and shinin through your skin Some don't understand and they call it leviathan The sea, she rises and falls and it don't mean nothin at all That's what they say to me, but I don't believe them

The sanctified large goldfish Put out a call for songs Foolishly I responded A sea miner all along This is not a shanty Those are sung above the waves But that's not what we're doing here We're diving deep down into caves Pressure The pressure underwater Helps rocks form into gems And I'm that deep sea miner Diving deep to harvest them This is not a shanty Those are sung above the waves But that's not what we're doing here We're diving deep down into caves Pressure 今にぼくは レヴァイアサンと言うな 今にぼくは レヴァイアサンと言うな This is not a shanty Those are sung above the waves But that's not what we're doing here We're diving deep down into caves Pressure 今にぼくは レヴァイアサンと言うな 今にぼくは レヴァイアサンと言うな

Lurking beneath thin skin/ Is an emotional leviathan May the revelations begin Hyde for hyde a vision for the eye All conversations, confessions attempt to spin Chorus: It isn’t very sweet To the knuckles surface deep There will be gnashing of teeth And tear tracks drawn from where you weep Inclined to frantic tantrum/ A touch of forced reaction Hovering on the cause of stress A general lack of compassion A void of vitamin Usher in emotional leviathan Worn as a crown/ This strain is virulent Fluid in all its flaws and ways Court disaster with open arms, repellent charms Here comes emotional leviathan

Leviathan Oh won’t you pull me in To your hidden den So we can start again I’ll sink on down with you It’s all I want to do Into the depths below Beneath the undertow Well I can’t see why you’re living all alone In the darkest hole that’s the furthest place from home Leviathan Won’t you invite me in To your secret world I hear it’s beautiful If you’ll just take my hand And make me understand Then I can breathe again And be with you my friend Well we could swim to that deep dark down together And find our way to a place that’s soft and warm We could hide from the harsh and nasty weather And you could take me in and keep me safe from harm Leviathan You are my only friend You are my hidden gem My sweet Leviathan

Maybe it’s getting better Maybe it’s getting worse That’s how it is when you really can’t rehearse Holding out hope for a new beginning Need more than that to get back to winning After all we say and after all we do Maybe it’s something we learn from Maybe it’s something true Do no harm, Leviathan Take it all til it’s all gone You take it all til it’s all gone How do you carry on Running out the clock When you know it has to stop Backwards world we’re living in, time is just a prop Looking for the light at the end of the tunnel Swimming on out to avoid the funnel Need more than that to get back to winning After all we say and after all we do Maybe it’s something we learn from Maybe it’s something true Do no harm, Leviathan Take it all til it’s all gone You take it all til it’s all gone How do you carry on After all we say and after all we do Maybe it’s something we learn from Maybe it’s something true Do no harm, Leviathan Take it all til it’s all gone You take it all til it’s all gone You take it all til it’s all gone How do you carry on How do you carry on Hauling your Leviathan

One day I was swimming in the ocean When I felt a sort of tug. It wasn’t a shark bite, just a small touch, Like an underwater hug. I swam to the shoreline wond’ring the whole time Just what it could have been And I felt a bit slimy from a tiny patch Of kelp stuck to my skin. (Bridge) I walked up the beach Back to my hotel something called to me, a sound and a smell. Back in my room I felt something I craved. I sat on the balcony watching the waves. Finally went bed But couldn’t sleep. My mind sank to thoughts damp and deep. Then a knock on the door startled me to rise I opened it up and she filled my eyes. There was a creature in a t-shirt Standing in front of me. She had a faint fishy smell But I could tell she was just the girl for me. (Chorus) I’m in love, love, love, love, love loviathan My heart gave me a shove and I took her by the fin I kissed her carapace where her smiling face probably would have been. I’m in love, love, love, love, love, loviathan I knew it was her whose touch I felt When I was swimming earlier Despite her scales and her claws She could not be girlier. She gurgled some words I couldn’t understand But I knew just what she meant And we’ve been together on sea and land since she was Heaven sent. She’s like an angel from the ocean depths From below and from above And no one who sees us can believe us They cannot fathom our love. (Chorus) I’m in love, love, love, love, love loviathan My heart gave me a shove and I took her by the fin I kissed her carapace where her smiling face probably would have been. I’m in love, love, love, love, love, loviathan She took me down below, scuba gear in tow To meet the parents who had spawned her. They hoped our love would fade since we were different made, But our hearts only grew fonder. Ours is a love they cannot understand A soul match, love’s true essence I love her burbly voice, her stalky eyes And her bioluminescence Friends say I’m out of my depth, she’s out of my league But they’re 20 thousand wrong And I’m thrilled to say I’m on the hook to stay And so I wrote this song. (Chorus) I’m in love, love, love, love, love loviathan My heart gave me a shove and I took her by the fin I kissed her carapace where her smiling face probably would have been. I’m in love, love, love, love, love, loviathan I love the nautical things she does Just because And I’ve seen plenty of fish in my day But I’m more than proud to sing out loud That she’s the one that didn’t get away. (Chorus) I’m in love, love, love, love, love loviathan I’m in love, love, love, love, love, loviathan. I’m in love, love, love, love, love, loviathan. I’m in love, love, love, love, love, loviathan.

Encased in scaly skin No one will see them different again Encased in scaly skin No one will see the souls within No matter what you say or do Always the snake in the sea No reform or regret allowed Nightmare grade, wrecker of dreams Leviathan, scaly fortress, writhing demon Leviathan, damned forever, no redemption Leviathan, reprimanded, feared and branded Leviathan Desperate for some affirmation Looking toward love and affection Need to rest, relive, move through on an island in the ocean blue Leviathan, scaly fortress, writhing demon Leviathan, damned forever, no redemption Leviathan, reprimanded, feared and branded Leviathan Encased in scaly skin No one will see them different again Encased in scaly skin No one will see the souls within

Going down down deep into the blue The sea miners union has work to do Take what they can The salt of the ocean Leviathan woke from all the commotion A monster so daunting, but truly a prude Finds all the racket is nothing but rude The poor miners jamming, just doing their job Think to themselves "let's mess with this snob" Crank it to 10, really drill it in Machinery blasting that thrash fantastic Leviathan rock n roll Stunned by the grips of the audio eclipse Leviathan looks shaken at least The miners grin, know to play it again Only way to tackle this beast But to their surprise, the monster swims close by Says "hey guys, that sounded sick! Can I sit in? Play aux percussion? Promise i wont be a prick." Crank it to 10, really drill it in Machinery blasting that thrash fantastic Leviathan rock n roll Always stick to your guns and know where you're at Cause a Cm must B# and never Bb

Captain Hobbes at sea- Leviathan telling me to tolerate tyranny-Leviathan What lurks beneath the surface? Is there a good way out of this place? or do I just hold onto Nurse for fear of finding something worse? leviathan Don't forget that it is written When we faced certain defeat who crushed the heads of Leviathan for the desert creatures to eat Do you recall the good old days- Leviathan the wisdom of the ancient ways- Leviathan When that fire-breather from long ago Was a great chaotic foe Its law and order couldn’t fail ‘Til greater forces would prevail- Leviathan Don't forget that it is written When we faced certain defeat who crushed the heads of Leviathan for the desert creatures to eat What did I get from birth? Is there more to heaven and earth than dreamed of by your philosophy from a vantage point in history? Looking out at the vast expanse- Leviathan of the universe's swirling dance- Leviathan the only thing that's surprising's to see Persepolis rising beyond the ashes of fallen Babylon Don't forget that it is written When we faced certain defeat who crushed the heads of Leviathan for the desert creatures to eat

And I saw as it were a Leviathan Asleep on the train from New York With a mind full of sweet salves of salvation On the way from here to before Oh la la la la la, oh la la la la la On the edge of eternity and a rotting third rail The beast commenced to raise his arms With his sword and his crozier and his terrible wail Laughing, my children I mean you no harm Oh ha ha ha ha, Oh ha ha ha ha ha As we tore through the night on our path of steel I saw his his face was like that a god And as he slithered down the aisle he ceased to conceal His scales shone the faces of the mob Oh wah wah wah wah wah, Oh wah wah wah wah wah It was a nightmare; it was a high wire; it was a sucker’s game The only train on the only pass The brush strokes of light ruptured the picture frame And the terror broke the looking glass Oh la la la la la la la la; oh la la la la la la la la When the multitude rebelled it was with noble pride A state of nature and purest mankind Then out came Napoleon himself, majestically upright What’d we lose and what did we find? Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha; oh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha And they said who are you; he said a righteous man And a thief and a liar and more There is no power on earth to be compared to him No stone no leaf no unfound door Oh wah wah wah wah wah; oh wah wah wah wah wah

Forty years or more ago upon this very sea There sailed the ship Leviathan, the best there'll ever be Upon this mighty vessel lived a lowly servant lass They should have seen the warning signs of what was sure to pass After a day of grueling work she could not take no more The hours in the kitchen and the scrubbing of the floor She mixed a drought of liquid death with shaky hands so pale And when they weren't a'watching her she dumped it in the ale Oh ho ho the Maid of Leviathan! Oh ho ho the Maid of Leviathan! The feasting went all day and night the ale was passed around But the lonely servant girl was nowhere to be found They sang and danced most merrily, they ate up all the meat Morning came the girl's heart was the only one that beat Oh ho ho the Maid of Leviathan! Oh ho ho the Maid of Leviathan! Now when the seas are just right and the wind begins to blow You'll see the Grand Leviathan and then ye surely know She sails alone upon the night, she hasn't any fear She sings aloud her mourning song for all the world to hear.

How can a monster create new love From the seaweed at the bottom of my heart? Trapped in the oceans Of mile-deep emotions With feelings that have drifted away How can a monster draw patterns of sand To show the way into my heart? Lying in wrecks And rip-tides of sex We can all be a monster sometimes
38.
Hey why not take your ship to sea? With your girl, persephone? Yes come and swim so happily this all works very well for me. What'll you do? I'm much older than you Quite a bit wiser too I'm a monster!!! Now I see your little boat Guess you forgot that I can float Please remind your little wench that it's dark in the Mariana Trench [dance break] Yes I see you're such a man And you have got a master plan Now we're going to have some fun Go ahead, try to run Leviathan Guess I'm at it again The world's a feast of men and I'm so hungry Maybe you should have just stayed home You deserve some time alone Stay in bed with your phone Cause now you've met the monster

about

In April of 2020, 39 bands from around the world recorded their musical impressions of the word "Leviathan." All of these songs are different, but all of them are in the key of C-minor, and all of them rock, in their own unique ways.
