Lyrics

Leviathan

[Verse 1] Leviathan, yeah we all want one Obedience, consent, accept death Brutalness, this life is short A damp refusal, you will be caught [Chorus] Leviathan, in disguise Leviathan, in all your eyes Worship denied on your knees and pray This simple expectation to save this day [Verse 2] Dictators or democracy Obey the price to make us free Angels, devils, and some more charade Give us a pain, a god without shame [Chorus] Leviathan, in disguise Leviathan, in all your eyes Worship denied on your knees and pray This simple expectation to save this day [Verse 3] Reprobates, and MPLA Patty Hearst, oh, they're all the same Baader Meinhof and Medusa Touch Leviathan, I am your son [Guitar Solo] [Outro] Worship denied on your knees and pray This simple expectation to save this day Worship denied on your knees and pray...
