La la la la la la la la
Oh
And so it begins
And so it begins
From within
The depths of the dying earth
To a terrible thing that has broke free from it’s cage
Night is
Night is
Falling fast
Time is
Time is
Here at last
The leviathan
The leviathan
Has come again
And an army of agony
It will surely bring
The spell is upon us and has us tightly in its grip
Night is
Night is
Falling fast
Time is
Time is
Here at last
From the dust returned a titan
From the dust returned a titan
Ancient name whispered in the darkness
Lost words spoke from chattering teeth
Bloody runes forbode the arrival
Of the beast that no longer sleeps
This is the end of everything we know my darling
This is simply the end
Such safety finds us
Trembling lambs environed by wolves
Heaven is shuttering
Heaven is shuttering
Hope is lost
And soon there will be a flood
Of angels weeping blood
Grim retribution for our many unnumbered crimes
Night is
Night is
Falling fast
Time is
Time is
Here at last
Hell is assembling
Hell is assembling
Humanity
Has reached its bitter end
No time to make amends
Up from the pits crawl the unnamable faceless ones
Night is
Night is
Falling fast
Time is
Time is
Here at last
From the dust returned a titan
From the dust returned a titan
Ancient name whispered in the darkness
Lost words spoke from chattering teeth
Bloody runes forbode the arrival
Of the beast that no longer sleeps
This is the end of everything we know my darling
This is simply the end
Such safety finds us
Trembling lambs environed by wolves
Well, it is far too late to change our ways
Now that the curtain has been raised
Events we’ve witnessed can never be unseen
We walk alone
To atone
Into the unknown
We walk alone
To atone
Into the unknown
Well, all that will be left is scattered stones
Of forgotten cities long gone
The things we’ve witnessed can never be unseen
We walk alone
To atone
Into the unknown
We walk alone
To atone
Into the unknown

La la la la la la la la
Introductory melody
Oh
Expression of realization
And so it begins
The start of something significant
From within
Emerging from the depths
The depths of the dying earth
From the heart of decay
It has given birth
New life has been created
To a terrible thing that has broke free from it’s cage
A powerful force unleashed from confinement
Night is
The darkness is closing in
Falling fast
Approaching quickly
Time is
The moment has arrived
Here at last
Finally present
The leviathan
A monstrous creature
Has come again
Returning to wreak havoc
And an army of agony
A legion of pain and suffering
It will surely bring
Causing great destruction
The spell is upon us and has us tightly in its grip
We are under the influence of an irresistible force
From the dust returned a titan
A colossal being is reborn
Ancient name whispered in the darkness
An old and powerful name evoked in secrecy
Lost words spoke from chattering teeth
Unintelligible words spoken fearfully
Bloody runes forbode the arrival
Warnings of a bloody arrival
Of the beast that no longer sleeps
The awakening of a fearsome creature
This is the end of everything we know my darling
The end of our familiar existence
This is simply the end
It is all over
Such safety finds us
We are in a safe place
Trembling lambs environed by wolves
Helpless prey surrounded by predators
Heaven is shuttering
Heaven is shaking in fear
Hope is lost
There is no positive outlook
And soon there will be a flood
A wave of destruction is imminent
Of angels weeping blood
A tragic and sorrowful event
Grim retribution for our many unnumbered crimes
Punishment for our numerous misdeeds
Hell is assembling
Hell is gathering its forces
Humanity
All of mankind
Has reached its bitter end
We have met our unfortunate fate
No time to make amends
No opportunity to fix our mistakes
Up from the pits crawl the unnamable faceless ones
Horrible creatures emerge from the underworld
Well, it is far too late to change our ways
There is no possibility of redemption
Now that the curtain has been raised
The truth has been revealed
Events we’ve witnessed can never be unseen
Experiences that cannot be erased from memory
We walk alone
We are on our own
To atone
To make up for our mistakes
Into the unknown
Venturing into the uncertain
Well, all that will be left is scattered stones
Only rubble will remain
Of forgotten cities long gone
Abandoned cities that will never be remembered

Man Curtis' guitar work is so much more intense in the Rufus Rex stuff. I love it.

I named my little, two-pound Dwarf bunny Leviathan after this song five years ago.
I spent forever trying to find the perfect name until I heard that line. He also answers to "Levi." Thanks, Curtis!
Helen Skellen
He's wonderful both Lyrically and musically , I can't wait to read his novel I imagine it to be as intriguing as his music. I find it a release to be able to escape into my own mind , it's nice to have a peek at his crazy made up world too .
A Person On The Internet
Wait... Curtis made a novel?
Briana Medeiros
Such unique sounds, please don't quit anytime soon! Just like a zombie, live forever >:)
Guinevere
Alright, this seals it! I'm buying an album from both the Rufus Rex works, and Creature Feature. It's been a while since I've stumbled onto a band I've liked this much, last one had been Crystal Castles I think, and your songs go marvelously well with reading Lovecraft
