The Kingdom Lyrics

I was stranded in the hospital ward again
if they pick you up this is where you'll meet your end.

When the bombs went off they moved the capitol north
you better be enlisted, you ought to be conscripted
to fight the sino war.
It would not be for Baltimore,
that I would die for.
It wouldn't be for country
or castle or keep but me.
There's no way to win a shadow war
when every radical you stab excites a hundred more.
There's a place, the rust belt, I've heard it's free.
It was hardest hit, we were busy fighting the wrong enemy.

I found an abandoned factory
on the edges of a lake.
It seems they made bread there
and it smelled of pies and cake.
I slept on bags of rye and yeast
I wandered through the fields
of honey clover, dead machines, and wheat.
