Larynx of Leviathan Lyrics

Sharpened my axe and I folded my spade and I

Emptied my pack of the provisions I'd made and I

Though I'd return in a matter of days burt I

Scrawled my goodbyes in the sand just in case

Thought I could

Creep past the teeth like I wind-borne disease

Thought I could

Go mining diamonds in the larynx of leviathan but

If you've ever been in the mouth of the beast, then you know

Once you're inside, it's easier to stay than to go and

You could live forever just injecting the gold from its throat

I built a fire and held on 'til the fever broke

First it was grand, I was stuffing my pack with the

Gold and the gems that I planned to take back with me but

Under that plunder, couldn't straighten my back yet I

Couldn't bear to part with it, felt it reach into me

Thought I could

Creep past the teeth like I wind-borne disease

Thought I could

Go mining diamonds in the larynx of leviathan but

If you've ever been in the mouth of the beast, then you know

Once you're inside, it's easier to stay than to go and

You could live forever just injecting the gold from its throat

I built a fire and held on 'til the fever broke
