Leviathan (/lᵻˈvaɪ.əθən/; Hebrew: לִוְיָתָן, Modern Livyatan, Tiberian Liwyāṯān ; "twisted, coiled") is a sea monster referenced in the Tanakh, or the Old Testament.
The word has become synonymous with any large sea monster or creature. In literature (e.g., Herman Melville's Moby-Dick) it refers to great whales, and in Modern Hebrew, it simply means "whale". It is described extensively in Book of Job 41 and mentioned in Job 3:8, Amos 9:3, Psalm 74:13-23, Psalm 104:26 and Isaiah 27:1.
The Leviathan is mentioned six times in the Tanakh, with Job 41:1–34 being dedicated to describing him in detail:
In Psalm 74 God is said to "break the heads of Leviathan in pieces" before giving his flesh to the people of the wilderness. In Psalm 104 God is praised for having made all things, including Leviathan; and in Isaiah 27:1 he is called the "wriggling serpent" who will be killed at the end of time.
The Hebrew Leviathan was a development of the earlier Canaanite sea monster Lôtān or Litānu (Ugaritic: Ltn) described as a servant of the sea god Yammu in the Baal Cycle discovered in the ruins of Ugarit. The account has gaps, making it unclear whether some phrases describe him or other monsters at Yammu's disposal such as Tunannu (the Biblical Tannin). Most scholars agree on describing Lôtān as "the fugitive serpent" (bṯn brḥ) but he may or may not be "the wriggling serpent" (bṯn ʿqltn) or "the mighty one with seven heads" (šlyṭ d.šbʿt rašm). Like Yammu's other servants and Yammu himself, Lôtān is defeated by the benevolent storm god Baʿal. His role seems to have been prefigured by the earlier serpent Têmtum whose death at the hands of the benevolent storm god Hadad is depicted in Syrian seals of the 18th–16th century BCE.

They are stories of love, heartbreak, friendship, personal growth, sex, crime, espionage, political, seemingly unrelated, have something in common: the loneliness of its characters, and little by little by chance will converge together. Among our heroes, some living their own reality, usually reduced to parallel universe that provides exclusive Internet, while others opt for fantasizing, perhaps to feel free and made, perhaps to give vent to his personal ghosts. Both sides seem convinced that the virtual world of cyberspace is the new home of the mind, where governments cannot exercise its sovereignty, and they can exist and express themselves freely. In cyberspace, everything is possible.

Genres: Documentary, Horror, Mystery,You killed my future, I looked on in pain
I hoped to see a poppy field at the end
My ears did burn, I recollect your thoughts
You didn't even try to replace your hate for love
You're a matt black box, a pair of unwashed socks
A braincell killer with my life on the rocks
I tried to stamp you out
Shut you out of my mind
All I could do was to keep in line
Never look behind, you never know what you'll find
As a child I'd hide, as a child I never was told
I never was told, I never was told
I got lost in the deep green sea
No source is greater, my moon's a crater
We got left by the forest edge
No source is great
At the end of the day, in the Autumn years of my like
I simply walk away and shuffle my feet
I'm a stranger that I'll never meet
My ears did burn, I recollect your thoughts
You didn't even try to replace your hate for love
You're a matt black box, a pair of unwashed socks
