Mark Lanegan - Leviathan lyrics

rate me

After the deadlock and dazzle

As good as, or better than gold

I lay down my guns on the table

First scarlet, then blue growing cold

Black light and smoke

Making a joke

In the haze of a setting sun

Leviathan waits in the water

Skeletons hide in the trees

The hours crawl by like a spider

Hangman is following me

At sorrow’s door

A century more

In the rays of a setting sun

After the deadlock and dazzle

Glitters at night like it’s gold

You lay down your heart if you’re able

First scarlet, then blue growing cold

Everyday a prayer

For what I never knew

But this is one I said for you

[x10]
