When the sky comes to life And the levee is high And the rulers of the valley Protect us through the night These are the old times (Faltered and graced) (fractured and stained) (Living) (learning) the past from our lives Into the kingdom, old and wise We travel back in time From the bodies of the night Who walks among the dead As they crawl into the forest Where they live and they die Serpents in the river Kneel down by the brook Fire in the sky just like the book Walk among the valley Crumble down to earth Look up to the skies and pray Into the kingdom When your soul can't find the light And there's nowhere to go And the bodies come to life You know where to go Into the kingdom Living the past from our lives These feel like old times We travel back in time When the sky comes to life
