The Kingdom - Portal
It might be time to let this go, we're a long way from the ground below Embracing greed, excesses, bickerings, while we speak of so much grander things While cheating life we'll cease to grow, while leaching death we'll never know It's latent gains unrealized, that separate our simple lives It takes much more than words to say that I'm out of place It's inborn, it's innate, it's instinct, it's in line with the way We desire, procreate, self-suffice, and decay So accept, nay embrace, we'll adapt to be saved Can't deny we've a place in The Kingdom It might be time now, push to shove, we're a long way from the gates above While the soul regresses, flickering, every blade evolves and bourgeons wings We can elevate our feeble minds, only more if we act in kind Revert to primal urges, ape animals caged It's inborn, it's innate, it's instinct, it's in line with the way We desire, procreate, self-suffice, and decay So accept, nay embrace, we'll adapt to be saved Can't deny we've a place in The Kingdom It's inborn, it's inbred, it's instinct, it's innate It's in line, it's in-keeping, it's how we relate, We belong, we behave, we began, we became Remember the days of yore when peace was rule Remember the nights when love rang true Can you recall when understanding fueled... Our lives I certainly can't, and nor can you If it breaks like waves on the shore If it strains like all forms before If it fails like all beneath the sun Then the beast is foul and nothing more My - how like the sheep we move, and the wolves torture them for days Hold - hold on to this childish ruse, and the twain will never change their ways Lo, my how like the sheep we move, and the wolves torture them for days Hold - hold on to this childish muse, and the twain will never change their ways Lo, my how like ourselves they move, and the wolves torture them for days Hold - hold on to this childish ruse, and the two will never change their ways It's our nature, it unfastens We breed quarries and assassins We're the hunters and the preyed on We're the windfalls and the burdens That's just nature, it unfastens It breeds quarries and assassins There are hunters, and the preyed on Some are windfalls and some burdens When the blood clots eternally When motive one subsides When we rise above I'll say you're so right When the queer consoles us When reason feeds our lives Show me signs and I'll believe you Fate's below us, they will know us Truth will show us through... (x6)... Here It might be time to let this go, we're a long way from the ground below Releasing greed, excesses, bickerings, may be our only path to grander things While cheating life we'll never grow, while leaching death we'll never know It takes much more than words to say – that I'm out of place here
