Our Kingdom Undone Video (MV)

This is how the world will end
Not with a bang but the stroke of a pen
You'll sign away your life in anger
Sell it to the highest bidder
Who promises to keep you safe
And keep the outside world at bay
To build a gaudy, gilded cage with no bars
As everything else falls apart
Complicit in our own control
Conditioned to conform
We pledge allegiance, blind obedience
For our own convenience
Now the best lack all conviction
But the worst are filled with passion
And the rest no longer even seem to know the difference any more
This is how the world will end
Not with a bang but a whimper instead
Building bigger cages, forging longer chains
All to preserve the illusion of freedom
The status quo must be maintained, at any cost
No matter what lines must be crossed in the process
Counting our losses, selling us safety and calling it progress
So what will you choose?
The freedom from or freedom to?
The good of the many, or the greed of the few?
We are the blinded, led by the blind
Unwilling to believe, what's right before our eyes
Burning all our bridges, building our walls
Raising them higher, only to watch as they fall
Into ashes, everything passes, as the colony collapses
A fragile house of cards we built on the backs of the masses still toiling in vain
The imbalance of power is shifting
The ivory towers are falling one by one
The tables are turning, and Rome is burning
And all our best laid plans have come to less than nothing
We are the blinded, led by the blind
Unwilling to believe, what's right before our eyes
We are divided, by lines we have drawn in the sand
An isolation that we cannot withstand
They say the rising of the tide, will lift us all in time
Another empty promise, to keep us all in line
They tell us to be patient, to bide our time and keep on waiting
For salvation, waiting for a day that never comes
This is how our kingdom comes undone
And all the ties which bind us
Blind us to what we've become
We are the blinded, led by the blind
Unwilling to believe, what's right before our eyes
We are divided, by lines we have drawn in the sand
An isolation that we cannot withstand
We built ourselves a system, a pure and perfect vision
With all our best intentions for a better world
We made it in our image, merciless and unforgiving
And far too late we realised that we had erred
For what we built was a lie
Corrupted by its very nature and design
A shining symbol of our flaws and failures
A monument to compromise
All the kingdom's horses
And all the kingdom's men
We're not enough to give us safety again
All the kingdom's horses
And all the kingdom's men
We're not enough to give us safety again
All the kingdom's horses
And all the kingdom's men
We're not enough to give us safety again
All the kingdom's horses
And all the kingdom's men
We're not enough to give us safety again
All the kingdom's horses
And all the kingdom's men
We're not enough to give us safety again
All the kingdom's horses
And all the kingdom's men
We're not enough to give us safety
