lyrics

It came from the river, making nighttime from the day
Driven from our fields, we huddled closely and whispered quietly
Oh cruel leviathan
We prayed for salvation
Braying and snarling beasts were given to the sky Moving and crumbling, ever marching, coming nigh
Oh cruel leviathan
We prayed for salvation
We had gathered our courage, we had prayed to the sky We had gathered our things and walked east in the night
The air thick, and smelling of rotting bones, had choked our vision The creaking of the floorboards, we did not dare make a sound
Oh cruel leviathan
We prayed for salvation
Hopeful thoughts were flooding to come and wash away our sins From the burning and the breaking, ever watching frightful eyes.
