Leviathan's Lantern

[Intro]
[Verse]
Salt crusts the ancient stone
I stand on the cliff alone
Iron hulls cut the grey
To take our lives away
Imperial flags in the gale
Make the trembling village pale
The lighthouse holds a spark
Deep within the heavy dark
[Pre-Chorus]
I turn the rusted key
To wake the sleeping sea
The gears begin to grind
For what they’re about to find
The oil burns a neon green
The greatest power ever seen
[Chorus]
Rise from the crushing deep
No more shall the titan sleep
Tear the gilded sails apart
Strike the empire to the heart
Glow with a ghostly fire
Build their funeral pyre
Higher and higher
The ocean’s holy choir
[Post-Chorus]
Leviathan
The master of the span
Leviathan
God since the world began
[Verse]
The double-bass drums of thunder
Pull the warships under
The brass roars from the sky
As the desperate sailors die
Scale of sapphire and bone
Defending the salt-washed throne
The fog turns to a shroud
As the beast cries out loud
[Build-up]
The water starts to churn
The wooden decks all burn
No mercy for the crown
Let the invaders drown
[Bridge]
Blood in the freezing spray
The hunters become the prey
I am the keeper of the light
The sister of the night
We are one within the swell
Sending them all to hell
[Chorus]
Rise from the crushing deep
No more shall the titan sleep
Tear the gilded sails apart
Strike the empire to the heart
Glow with a ghostly fire
Build their funeral pyre
Higher and higher
The ocean’s holy choir
[Post-Chorus]
Leviathan
The master of the span
Leviathan
God since the world began
[Outro]
