Love Is the Kingdom

Highways and hotels, strip malls and billboards, gas stations, warehouses, abandoned churches,
Live oaks befallen, beneath the city sprawling and scrawling obscenities across the earth,
Bulldozing the houses of miners and farmers and immigrants searching for empty space
Erasing the memories of lovers and dreamers and schemers leaving not a single trace
But love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom everlasting
Love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom everlasting

The river paved over by ribbons of concrete, feral cats wander across barren ground,
The last lonely island of humble beginnings surrounded by the fury and sound,
Of trucks drowning out the wind in the trees, the buzzing of bees, and the falling of leaves
The paths through the forest, dreams and the memories now lost to fast fading history,
Love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom everlasting
Love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom everlasting

A beautiful girl lives in the ruins surrounded by ghosts of devils and saints
Endlessly waiting for something to change, for a door to open away from the pain
I stand in the shadows as she walks up beside me taking my arm at the end of the day
If I were a magician, I'd wave my wand with a flash and take her away
I'd grant every wish she ever whispered beneath the hazy Texas moon
The morning is coming the day will be lovely I know in my heart it will come soon
Because love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom everlasting
Love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom everlasting
Love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom everlasting
Love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom everlasting
Love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom everlasting
Love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom, love is the kingdom everlasting
