Leviathan by The Sailing Lyrics
[Verse 1]
O Death, arrive to no avail
And spare our panicked scraps for sails
The flood is aching to perspire
[Verse 2]
The crew is tossed like oil rags
I’d give my arms for plains of sand
My body’s aching to expire
[Chorus]
This is what we’ve been waiting for
Not to be separated and cast ashore
‘Cause it’s just enough to leave you all alone
And so I told the Elder
“We’ve been waiting for so much more
But if they follow me, they’ll never make it home.”
[Verse 3]
The smell of fear and breaking bones
A death camp for the rods and cones
My body’s aching to catch fire
[Chorus]
This is what we’ve been waiting for
Not to be separated and cast ashore
‘Cause it’s just enough to leave you all alone
And so I told the Elder
“We’ve been waiting for so much more
But if they follow me, they’ll never make it home.”
O Death, arrive to no avail
And spare our panicked scraps for sails
The flood is aching to perspire
[Verse 2]
The crew is tossed like oil rags
I’d give my arms for plains of sand
My body’s aching to expire
[Chorus]
This is what we’ve been waiting for
Not to be separated and cast ashore
‘Cause it’s just enough to leave you all alone
And so I told the Elder
“We’ve been waiting for so much more
But if they follow me, they’ll never make it home.”
[Verse 3]
The smell of fear and breaking bones
A death camp for the rods and cones
My body’s aching to catch fire
[Chorus]
This is what we’ve been waiting for
Not to be separated and cast ashore
‘Cause it’s just enough to leave you all alone
And so I told the Elder
“We’ve been waiting for so much more
But if they follow me, they’ll never make it home.”
