I have been told there’s a snake in the heart of man

Living of hate, for the greed and the rage

I have been warned not to give in to its demands

Feed not the need - It’s too great an expense

But I - I did not mind

It felt so right

I have allowed it to poison my thoughts, then soul

I failed to see - It was out of control

And I - I don’t mind

It feels so right

Now writhing scales in my mind

Leviathan

Strangling my thoughts

It’s winding around my mind

Creeps in my soul

I see through its fiery eyes

Crawls in my veins

Moving beneath my skin

Eats me alive

Leviathan

I’ve been seduced by the wiles of the snake

Like to be locked in our twisted embrace

No one to spare, not a thing worth to save

My blood has turned cold, there’s a world to erase

And I - I don’t mind

It feels so right

Now writhing scales in my mind

Leviathan
