The Rising Kingdom



The sun eclipses in your eyes,
Skin melts into the sky,
Freckles trodden into the ground,
Blemishes of the world surround,
We'll take a drive,
Meandering through the night,
Isolated from the world,
Filled with frenzied whirls,
Emancipated from skeletal prisons,
To take our place in the rising kingdom,
Behind cemetery gates, eternity awaits,
In the realm of the rising kingdom.
