Cover art for Leviathan, Bound lyrics by Shearwater

The legend of the leviathan, if I recall, is that in the early days of Earth's creation, God made two, a male and a female. But soon He found them to be too powerful, too big, and decided He didn't want any little leviathans running amok. To keep them from procreating, God killed off the female, damning her mate to die alone and unwanted.
