let the kingdom come, down
from these heights, on heaven's high
higher, higher, reaching to the
place in the sky, far from sight
far from the touch of light
to sense of reason, belonging all for me
again, and again, as the space do
miss, all the points in-between
the colors and the dream, i do see
the kingdom moving, on clouds, a whisper
speaking for my tongue, dripping
down, as rain for mist, does the dew
of morning, taste so much, as the sight
as seen, on color for the world, in me
a wisp in the air, to show shadow leaping
from kingdom's gates, high, higher still
from the highest places, on the backs of giants
do our spirits surely roam, from story to story
our voice to the moment, echo before the fall
calling out, between the canyons racing
towards tomorrow's knight, whose hand a cliff
and feet the might of earth and wind, i know
to face the strength, of the world, before the world
to a touch of the gods, spinning, to which i find
and slowly i know, as my only place, to heaven
can surely wait, for a man such as me, for a
man such as me, before the eyes, of angels
waking, walking among, amidst us spirits
waiting, for heaven's gate, a beckon to our name
so shall we find, in all the reason, in all the mind
of peace, of place, in kingdom's heralds
on shoulders, shall we wait, for the sound of morning
to the gale of song, the kingdom is coming
the kingdom is falling down, high from higher still
a place a madness, a time of will
by her might, the sadness still becomes my name
and speaks such fortune, to heaven knows no game
to play for souls, as luck would seem, the devils show
reveal the wind of magic, on spite still shall we be
on the heaven or earth, the sand but a moment
collecting inside of me
let the kingdom come, come down from its birth
the place of knowing, heights yet unseen, but a kind
these faces, flowing in the air, as the way of gods surely know
not that which is seen, but found, unaware, are the colors of dream
as we collapse, and so we fall, the souls are lost, on wisdom spent
controlling the truth
