Leviathan
by bgm
we’ve got this problem deep below the surface
like some giant monster on the ocean floor
you said that this Leviathan will end us
and that you can’t be with me anymore
though it may seem like a Behemoth
it ain’t that bad
hardly the worst
we’ve ever had
this situation that’s between us
we’ll fix it if we hope and wish
a Leviathan is just a great big fish
our issues seem to float up at the worst times
just like some scaly reptile from below
we used to try and calm these stormy waters
but now you wanna pack your things and go
you know this doesn’t have to be
‘cause I believe in you and me
and not some bible creature from the sea
though it may seem like a Behemoth
it ain’t that bad
hardly the worst
we’ve ever had
this situation that’s between us
we’ll fix it if we hope and wish
a Leviathan is just a great big fish
a Leviathan is just a great big fish

Re: Nur Ein XI - Leviathan
He's got a swagger
He moves real slowly
Nothing commands him
But his own priorities
He speaks with confidence
Some might say arrogance
And if you face him
You better bring a good defense
He says, "I know I'm right
And if you don't
Why don't you fight?
Learn to stand your ground
And if you can't
Go sit back down
They say he's a monster
A human leviathan
Nothing you can say or do
Will ever, ever penetrate his skin
He acts with calm
Some might say he's cold
Whenever he is threatened
He's cavalier and bold
His equanimity
And unyielding acerbity
Haven't won over any
Acquaintances or enemies
They say he's a monster
A human leviathan
Nothing you can say or do
Will ever, ever penetrate his skin
In his mind he's a turtle
Not a monster smashing, disrupting the sea
In his mind he's a turtle
Bewildered by the heightened anxiety
In his mind he's a turtle
And just as harmless as you or me
He's got a swagger
He moves unhurried
Nothing can spur him
Cause he never worries
He speaks with confidence
Some might say it's arrogance
Possibly indifference
It's all the same, then they say
"Don't you have a heart?
And if you do
How does it start?
Don't you feel something?
And if you care
Why the mocking?
They say he's a monster
A human leviathan
Nothing you can say or do
Will ever, ever ever ever...
They say he's a monster
A larger than life villain
Nothing he can say or do
Will ever, ever shake the reputation
He moves real slowly
Nothing commands him
But his own priorities
He speaks with confidence
Some might say arrogance
And if you face him
You better bring a good defense
He says, "I know I'm right
And if you don't
