Joshua Edwards - Leviathan lyrics

Love of air and water Joined in apprehension, perhaps you know what's there By way of fear, for while Living in pursuit of And always going forth Toward something that trembles, Its knowledge is your mind. What do you think about The great ocean's sullen Aristocrats--these small Headaches and dark affairs That bathe themselves in your Staging grounds, where you go To contemplate how what You want became your mind? The black oblivion Offers no reprieve for You, hunter--in its keep Your ears have grown too sharp, So sharp you almost hear Your own heartbeat over The subtle whispers of Water's dismal gardens. Everything about you Is overblown, even Your mouth is uniquely Talented at its tasks, Gathering for slaughter Animals in their sleep, Speaking without a sound. Noah had seven laws, You only have one--eat To build life out of d**h, Survive above all things. The fatalistic moon Filtered down upon you Seems like an imitation Of lives you will not live. Would you be its hero? Would you call out against The morning's weaving light That shames the night before The pa**ing of its cool? Would you be at the beach When the invisible Becomes a glow, to surprise? Inland, workers dreaming Of unitarian Proposals lose no sleep To fear about your mouth. It is their wayward friends, Who wandered too far west Into fevered chaos, That wake up with your name As screams exploding dreams. The inland ether holds Clouds in your dismal shape. Lucky are those who know Nothing, who cannot see Hell outlined in vapor. Somewhere a piano Plays a sorrowful song half-written by the hate That a grieving loved one Would stick into your heart. Such are the arts of men. Beware. Your time is near. Someone has learned lessons You didn't mean to teach. A crowd is gathering. Your skull is their kingdom.
