Leviathan: The Song of Woe

from Filler by The Cassini Projekt

/

about

Leviathan: The Song of Woe is about a number of subjects. It concerns the impossibility of truth in a subjective universe, improbability and ambiguous statements from which two or more answers can be derived. It also focuses on the passage of time and how one can deal with this in the face of change. The song recalls one of my old songs named Vengeance on Humanity which contends with this same subject matter. The impersonal, obtuse nature of the universe and its lack of meaning is regaled in a citation of the myth of The Witch of Endor. This ties in with the idea of the objective non-existence of truth. While the song begins in a melancholy atmosphere it ultimately ends in celebration with ownership over one's destiny in the face of the ravages of time and adversity.

This song is inspired by Reverend Bizarre. For the guitar parts I was also influenced by Pink Floyd's magisterial performance of Echoes at Pompeii.

lyrics

Leviathan, this is the song of woe

Leviathan, I am calling you

You ask the meaning of meaning

Could have sworn you asked me before

You arbitrate over nothing

And chase phantasms of truth

I wander alone with wraiths by my side

We parted ways to see what we could find

Burdened with regret through these plains I ride

Of sanctuary I am forever denied.

Leviathan, this is the song of woe

Leviathan, I am calling you

My question is ambiguously parsed

So you can derive two answers

In a world of improbability

The improbable becomes probable

I asked these same questions far back in the past

I cannot comprehend the world, its moving too fast

Years later I walk down this very same road

The new world is rising from the ruins of the old

Leviathan, this is the song of woe

Leviathan, I am calling you

I have walked this road thousands of years ago

With memories that were not my own

Questions often go unanswered

He had cast out the malifecarum

The witch whispered a secret spell

Casting flames fuelled by the ichor of hell

Leviathan, this is the song of woe!

I was here once a long time ago!

I sailed upon Athena’s wings

Across the starry seas

To battle ancient gods

For a greater destiny

Leviathan! No longer a song of woe!!!
