Kingdom

are we only half alive
embers drifting in the night
looking, wandering all the time
we seek a kingdom

this is not my home
this skin and bone
the daylight will reconcile the dead and the gone
let the kingdom come

long have we been on the road
but we don’t face these hills alone
rising from these broken stones
we seek a kingdom

this is not my home
this skin and bone
the daylight will reconcile the dead and the gone
let the kingdom come

I can see it on your face
brother, you’ve been bearing the weight
sister, you are more than they say
there are whispers of a river
flowing in our veins
the hope of the after
a reckoning day

this is not my home
these aching bones
the fallen, the crucified arise with the dawn
let the kingdom come

this is not my home
this skin and bone
the daylight will raise to life the dead and the gone
let the kingdom come
