Kingdom Lyrics

Lyrics
Our domain, this kingdom come
Now godless lands whose ways are lost
Without the strength to carry on
All values lost all virtue none
Did you think you'd be saved?
By burning flags to cleanse yourselves of shame?
Or are you afraid as you stare back at your face?
Or are you ashamed, are you afraid
By destroying what the gods had made?
Do you think you'll be saved?
Do you think you'll be saved?
And I believe that we'll conceive
To make in hell for us a heaven
A brave new world, a promised land
A fortitude of hearts and minds
Until I see this kingdom is mine
I'll turn the darkness into light
I'll guide the blind
My will be done, until the day
I see our kingdom has been won
No more the servants of the weak
Devoid of thought or light to seek
I'll leave no walls, no stone unturned
Every tower must be razed
To the dust from which it came
And none will be spared, no remnant saved
And are you ashamed, are you afraid
Of the gods and idols you have made?
Do you think you'll be saved
By the gods and idols you have made?
None will be saved
None will be saved
None will be saved
And I believe that we'll conceive
To make in hell for us a heaven
A brave new world, a promised land
A fortitude of hearts and minds
Until I see this kingdom is mine
I'll turn the darkness into light
I'll guide the blind
My will be done, until the day
I see our kingdom has been won
None will be saved
None will be saved
None will be saved
And I believe that we'll conceive
To make in hell for us a heaven
A brave new world, a promised land
A fortitude of hearts and minds
Until I see this kingdom is mine
I'll turn the darkness into light
I'll guide the blind
My will be done, until the day
I see our kingdom has been won
