[Verse 1]

Am                 F G
   The Mediterranean

Am                       C F/A
   Down where chaos reign

G                  Am F
   Oh Great Leviathan

E F G

Am               F G
   The Hand of God

Am                        C F/A
   Through forgotten rain

G                         Am F
   You shall his sword defy

E
New day arrives

[Pre-chorus]

Am      Dm          Am
Turn to cherish the past

Dm               Am
Coiling viper of sin

Dm                   Am
Whisper tales of the war of gods

    F                     E
And whom our triumph will bring

[Chorus]

Am            Dm          Am
Dragon of the sea, in the wide and dark and deep

     Dm                          Am
From west of Eden conjure up the truth

Dm                       Am
May it travel far like a choir of the stars

    F                               E
May night of constellations come to fruit

Am             Dm           Am
Serpent of the void, in the ocean of our souls

  Dm                       Am
Illuminating powers burn supreme

Dm                           Am
Dwelling in the myth, of the watery abyss

     F                                    E
Your eyelids of the morning shine through me

[Verse 2]

Am                      F G
   Soon drifting into time

Am                     C F/A
   Mirror of your face

G                   E F
   Reflection of Lotan

E F G

Am                        F G

Am                   C F/A
   Glorious the rage

G                       E F
   That slumbers in Jordan
