lyrics

And the king he spoke to me
On lives and worlds we'd agree
of sunsets that envied the living
and rainbows to be forgiven

We'd seen the hills roll out to war
a sight never seen before
The clouds that billow as smoke
overcast a forest of greying oak

I've seen the mountains so proudly
deafening silence so loudly
rain for rivers to flow
water to cleanse us so slow

lives in forest as vivid
as lives be intrepid
harmony in song and sound
voiced free, unbound

Kingdom will come
solace for some
rumbling below

tremble for
lives down beneath
life in the sky
the flying of angels
we'll never fly
stand in contentment/cover my eyes/loathing this world

Alone as life ignores us
The king and I in the forest
We'd forget the simple things
Of life among our beings

Kingdom will come
solace for some
rumbling below

Can you hear me crying
I stand here, standing here
We see this world
filled with dying children
The starving children around
Wait 'till they're dead to be found
Dying children for a world's decoration

Kingdom will come
solace for some
rumbling below

I've hated standing in rain
The pouring of pain
The wind that tears at the world
Children torn apart by cold
