The kingdom is on fire!
The end is near...
Black light concealing our skies-the sun is being shaded
Reflections are becoming reality
The future is now left for saving face
Our valiant soldiers are surrendering to solitude
Power is being forced out
War is consuming and War is deceiving
People are shadows and the Shadows are people
The kingdom is on fire!
The end is near...
The dwellings are deepening diggings
The Body descending
Life is becoming grave
The sea is not separating, the walls are standing strong-we cannot escape!
The kingdom is on fire!
The end is near....
The majority majors not-they look towards a manger
Hoping for rescue but receiving mirrors
We are the reflections
People are shadows and the Shadows are people
The kingdom is on fire!
The end is near...
We run radically from the shadows
We cannot outrun ourselves
The blackness is who we are now scorching the kingdom
Looting the corridors-igniting ourselves
The kingdom is on fire!
The end is near...
Our lungs are smoking, skins melting, and hearts are boiling
The temperature of Temptation is towering
Warnings not heeded warming
We are killing ourselves.
The kingdom is on fire!
The end is near...
Agony has entered the darkening classrooms
Fear has joined War
Confusion has become the smoke-the grey line that disguises our trip into the fire
The kingdom is on fire!
The end is near...
Memoirs on History's walls are fading
Our burning beds become coffins
The Shadows are becoming the new tenants
What we call home is turning into ash and the ash into dust
The kingdom is on fire!
The end is near...
The kingdom is on fire!
The end is near...
