Keys to the Kingdom

How strong, how proud,
The builders of dreams,
The illusion experts,
With their clever clever schemes,

Oh you in your righteousness,
You fought through the mire,
Only to make the mire deeper,
For the truth to drown in,

It’s a brave new world,
With brand new ideas,
It’s so absurd,
How we hold back the tears,

Oh you in your righteousness,
You fought through the mire,
Only to make the mire deeper,
For the truth to drown in,

The race that is run,
For the keys to the kingdom,
The race that is run,
To kingdom come,
When all you will gain,
Is the key to the kingdom of ruin,

Oh you in your righteousness,
You fought through the mire,
Only to make the mire deeper,
For the truth to drown in,

You know they’ve sold us,
All down the river,
For the power lies,
In the hand of the giver,

Oh you in your righteousness,
You fought through the mire,
Only to make the mire deeper,
For the truth to drown in,

The race that is run,
For the keys to the kingdom,
The race that is run,
To kingdom come,
When all you will gain,
Is the key to the kingdom of ruin.
