Kingdom

The angels came to watch the men wage battle The saints they came to watch the men go down And if you died they handed you a medal And if you lived you stayed above the ground I was spared at a cost; all the kingdom was lost All the walls came tumbling down You used to lay beside me in the meadow You used to lay beside me in your gown I feel your arms around me like a shadow But when I turn there’s no one to be found I was spared at a cost; all the kingdom was lost All the walls came tumbling down We used to have a feast upon the table We used to have a bedroom full of wine And if I have to give my last to have you I’ll travel far beyond the ends of time
