Lyrics for Leviathan

After the deadlock and dazzle As good as, or better than gold I lay down my guns on the table First scarlet, then blue growing cold Black light and smoke Making a joke In the haze of a setting sun Leviathan waits in the water Skeletons hide in the trees The hours crawl by like a spider Hangman is following me At sorrow's door A century more In the rays of a setting sun After the deadlock and dazzle Glitters at night like it's gold You lay down your heart if you're able First scarlet, then blue growing cold Everyday a prayer for what I never knew But this is one I said for you Everyday a prayer for what I never knew But this is one I said for you Everyday a prayer for what I never knew But is is one I set for you
