Construction & Destruction - Leviathan And Whale Lyrics

Even in slumber I ready my hand
Scour scars and the lay of the land
Onslaughts will rise up and
Claw back the face
Torrents will lash down
And pound the place

Now soundless vacuum; now
Raging gale
Now leviathan; now sounding whale

I ride a flash flood of
Beckett's tongued pebbles and
Woolf's calm, palmed stones
Sophocles' tree is awash in me
And I can bend
I repent
I can bend

Spark into flare into dark
The thirst and the slake; the two

Even in slumber I ready my hand
Scour scars and the lay of the land
Onslaughts will rise up and
Claw back the face
Torrents will lash down
And pound the place

Now soundless vacuum; now
Raging gale
Now leviathan; now sounding whale

Spark into flare into dark
The thirst and the slake; the two
