Kingdom
Epic Battle of Love: Unveiling the Hidden Meaning in 'Kingdom'
Lyrics
The angels came to watch the men wage battle
The angels observed as men engaged in battle.
The saints they came to watch the men go down
The saints witnessed men facing defeat.
And if you died they handed you a medal
If you died in battle, you were honored with a medal.
And if you lived you stayed above the ground
If you survived, you remained alive.
I was spared at a cost; all the kingdom was lost
I survived, but at a significant cost; the entire kingdom was lost.
All the walls came tumbling down
All the protective walls crumbled down.
You used to lay beside me in the meadow
In the past, you used to lie beside me in the meadow.
You used to lay beside me in your gown
You used to be with me in your gown.
I feel your arms around me like a shadow
I feel your presence like a shadow with your arms around me.
But when I turn there’s no one to be found
However, when I turn, you are not there.
I was spared at a cost; all the kingdom was lost
I survived, but the cost was high; the entire kingdom was lost again.
All the walls came tumbling down
All protective walls collapsed once more.
We used to have a feast upon the table
We used to enjoy a feast together at the table.
We used to have a bedroom full of wine
We used to have a bedroom filled with wine.
And if I have to give my last to have you
If sacrificing everything is required to have you, I'll go beyond the limits of time.
I’ll travel far beyond the ends of time
I am willing to travel extensively to be with you, even if it means going beyond the ends of time.
