lyrics

I was on the bridge
when we arrived with blood red skies ,
with no chance at return
before sunrise ;
middle of the night
with the seasons turning .
Dripping off the rocks ,
wet drops of blood let down the grass ;
blood-letting to the letter .
But a violent crash
let us be forewarned
of the city's station .
With no walls
and no doors
home .
Step into the stale loose morning light .
Listen to the sound of the horse's cry .
Count off all the wrecked ports ocean-side
and wonder if it's over .
Anyone listening
couldn't tell the screaming
from the revelry that we brought .
Tearing down fastened doors,
and horses shout on all fours .
Shout on all fours :
' Did we make it ? '
When I met the sun ,
he was handsome and young
but I dared to believe
he was less fit than me
for the job they assigned ,
and I was forced to resign
and I cried .
Oh , I cried
and the tears wouldn't settle or keep their place ,
so they vowed their revenge on every race .
And I swallowed my pride
but I couldn't keep it inside .
But I tried my best ,
and I became what they would come to call
Leviathan .
Don't cross me .
' He's a real asshole . '
