Tekstovi: Caedmons Call. Back Home. Kingdom.

I was a pilgrim in early life, I traveled at night
Bound for Jordan just ten miles north of a civil war
Immersed in mercy in holy flood that mingled with blood
My sextant headed for homebound lands through twilight sands

But I grew weary and too far-gone to carry on
At first my home and my empire soon would there assume

I'm watching my kingdom tumbling down
And you're flooding my refuge underground
My kingdom for angels, mighty surround
To take me away from here

A sea of sand came through fiery pass, a sea of glass
An ivory fortress and turret's seal would swift reveal
The gods of beast and the sun and sky with banners high
We're worshiped in their six temple's fold of desert gold

I'm watching my kingdom tumbling down
And you're flooding my refuge underground
My kingdom for angels, mighty surround
To take me away from here

In summer's sting, as the sages say the sand gave way
My empire capsized at vanity's cost and all were lost

I'm watching my kingdom tumbling down
And you're flooding my refuge underground
My kingdom for angels, mighty surround
To take me away

I'm watching my kingdom crumble and fall
You're building your kingdom over all
And I'm cursing my wisdom while the angels I call
To take me away, to take me away from here
