What a vision of darkness
Creeps in with desperate sharpness
Lecherous grafting of knowledge
To my young mortal subconscious
Words writ by breath of the ancients
Wiser than even the pagans
Or the wizened old men with wands and white beards
That once were ensconced in my pages
Obfuscated by doom
And laden with arduous tasks of pathways laid out for the lot of us
Mages and witches and princes and maids
Pages with inches of space for mistakes
I am the beast
I am the light
I am the blighted being cursed with sight
I am the god who created a world
I am Leviathan, the girl
I can do it on my own
But you're a hero after all
And we may think our sacrifice is just
But pride comes right before the fall
Cascade of rain on my needles
A hand grasping tight to the bottle
Of a woman with untapped potential
The ennui of too late and too little
Our failures have made a bridge for success
If our game is half played, then who's played the rest of it?
Heroes we were in a universe doomed
Soldiers in battles best left un-exhumed
I am the beast
I am the light
I am the blighted being cursed with sight
I am the god who created a world
I am Leviathan, the girl
(Leviathan, the girl)
I can do it on my own, we can do it on our own
(Aut viam inveniam aut faciam)
I can do it on my own, we can do it on our own
Aut viam inveniam aut faciam
(Aut viam inveniam aut faciam)
(Aut viam inveniam aut faciam)
(Aut viam inveniam aut faciam)
Aut viam inveniam aut faciam
I am Leviathan... The girl
I am Leviathan, the girl
I am Leviathan, the girl
I am Leviathan, the girl
