Watery Leviathan
Boyd Rice & Friends Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

At the sunrise
And at noontime
At the setting of the sun
Here's the health to you
And wealth to you
Honours and gifts a thousand strong
Here's a name to you
And fame to you
Luck and lessons your whole life long
Look toward heaven
Eyes wide open
Turn your face toward the sun
And keep both feet
Firmly planted
On the watery leviathan
And shall all things
Come from one thing
Give your prayers to the sun
And keep both feet




Firmly planted
In the waters on leviathan
