I don't think this is about man's cruelty, more likely about loneliness.
Yes, the metaphor is about Leviathan, a legendary massive creature living in the bottom of the sea. Not strictly speaking an immortal being, but something that lives for a long, long time, destined to be the only one of its kind and ultimately die alone. I just wonder about the first verse. Somehow, even though some animal has been shot, through the heart, it still isn't dying. Maybe that is just the first part of the metaphor, about how your heart still keeps beating although it has been broken by someone?
Love the images of nature that this album is full of, by the way.
