  • In the dim light of a sacred heart
    See the vacant all descending to a left-hand path
    Where the dead reign in the godless dark
    Every martyr flying blind into the hands of wrath

    We give way to sorrow
    When the self is all we build
    And wake up tomorrow
    In the blood of who we killed

    We are the kingdom come
    We are come undone
    And our shadows bleed to one
    By a cold winter sun

    Give a weak mind all the coldest steel
    Our beloved at the mercy of a heartless horde
    Tear the cause out, let the cowards reel
    Bring the demon to the teeth and lacerate the cord

    We give way to sorrow
    When the self is all we build
    And wake up tomorrow
    In the blood of who we killed

    We are the kingdom come
    We are come undone
    And our shadows bleed to one
    By a cold winter sun

    In the blood of who we killed
    We are the kingdom come
    We are come undone
    And our shadows bleed to one
    By a cold winter sun

    We are the kingdom come
    We are come undone
    And our shadows bleed to one
    By a cold winter, cold winter sun Writer/s: John Patrick Judge, Ryan Curtis Clark
