In the depths of the ocean this legend lies,
a tale told in ancient times.
A beast with might and scales like golden shards,
a caged kingdom, only for the bold of heart.
Oh, Leviathan, guardian of the blue,
king of creatures, master of the proud.
Once I put a cord through your nose
but you tied it around my neck.
Oh, Leviathan, guardian of the blue,
king of creatures, master of the proud.
Once I tied down your tongue,
only to find myself devoured.
I found myself devoured.
Oh, Leviathan,
whispers from the water,
king of creatures,
now a fallen hero’s scream.
Oh, Leviathan,
whispers from the water,
master of the proud,
now a fallen hero’s scream.
Sea serpent, (the) fearsome one,
in the heat of battle, it met the sun.
In dust and ashes I find my place.
A heart humbled, by God’s embrace.

Never drowning

Slipping beneath the surface, into cold eternity,
beyond the realm of comprehension out of fathoms reach.
Man’s calamitous rebellion, begets false autonomy,
sinks into decay
Rend your heart.
Repent therefore,
Rend your heart.
and turn again,
Rend your heart.
again, repent, for heavens kingdom is at hand.
Drifting on times oceans, majestic in serenity,
beyond mortal opinion, sovereign over thee.
Lost in our transgressions, hominum salvator,
He will make the way
Rend your heart.
Repent therefore,
Rend your heart.
and turn again,
Rend your heart.
again, repent, for heavens kingdom is at hand.
The apple’s wrath is broken.
Restoration.
Below the surface never drowning,
His hand stretched out to those who seek Him.
Behold the Lord God in His glory,
singing holy.
He the one Lamb that is worthy,
all creation sighs in restoration.
Behold the Lord God in His glory,
singing holy, holy.

Come and dwell
in my embrace,
forever bound
in decay.
Let me go!
Stay and dwell
in this decay,
forever bound
in my embrace.
Can’t let go this hardened heart
so cold.
Lying face down, at the bottom,
all the things, I tried to hide
Make me stand clean, before Your throne,
this undertow, pulls me below.

And I saw another sign in heaven,
great and marvellous,
seven angels having the seven last plagues;
for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
I saw as it were a sea of glass and fire:
and they who had that the victory
over the beast out of the Sea,
over his image, over his mark,
and over the number of his name,
standing on the sea of glass,
having the harps of God.
And they sing the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb,
Great and marvellous are Thy works,
Lord God Almighty;
just and true are Thy ways,
Thou King of saints.
Thou King of saints.

Hafgúa Bakkafjörður, Iceland
Haunting, eerie and dark, like northern lights over the Iceland sea where the Hafgúa [ɦɑf-ɡy-wä] dwells.
A sea monster
known as the Leviathan from the accounts of Job and Jonah.
After which this 5 piece band is named heavy atmospheric doom-hymns with an overarching aquatic theme.
A drowning fisherman, the sea unwilling to release her dead, the ultimate redemption through the one called Son of Man.
