lyrics

Kingdom Come
Kent Agee/George Bradfute/Kyle Miller/Scott Miller

Rain beat on his windshield and sin burned in his eyes
The hatred that sustained him hissed like steam deep in his mind
He had touched the sacred relics, spoken all the holy names
And the message that he carried now was the thunder and the flame

He had looked into the future, seen his face in the plan
Heard the voices of the lion, heard the voices of the lamb
Now he’d make his life a weapon to be driven through the dark
Like a cold nail through the prophet’s hand
Like a stake through the unbeliever’s heart

Speak in tongues, bite the wire
Walk on water, walk through fire
Point your finger, point your gun
Point the way to Kingdom Come

Was he thinking of a childhood when he was just like you and me
Was he dreaming of the girl he loved back when he was seventeen
Did he close his eyes and say goodbye just before he let it go
Was there anything behind those eyes that you and I
Would recognize at all

Speak in tongues, bite the wire
Walk on water, walk through fire
Point your finger, point your gun
Point the way to Kingdom Come

Now there’s bloodstains on the sidewalk and sirens in the night
Everybody knows what’s wrong but no-one knows what’s right
My Grandma used to tell me crying angels made the rain
But I know we’d never see the Sun if angels saw
What we’ve done in their name

Speak in tongues, bite the wire
Walk on water, walk through fire
Point your finger, point your gun
Point the way to Kingdom Come
