Two kingdoms clashing, light and dark,
They cannot dwell in the same heart.
Give up all that pulls us away,
For Word comes first; it lights the way.
A shield to guard, so strong, so true,
It does the work it is meant to do.
A sword that cuts through bone and marrow,
Dividing culture and nature, brave and narrow.
Return to the Word, for the Word is sound,
When fighting from victory, strategic rest is found.
So, believe, align, reposition right,
A pathway new, with songs of new sound of light.
Advance, reclaim the spoils once lost,
Press on, no matter what the cost.
Wandering the two in between the kingdoms
One side, quiet and bright, flagged the havens
The other, earthly world, noisy and light dim
Drifting up or down when the moody flow faint
To brightness fly and blurring dim fall
Somewhere belonging may lack for souls
Quiescent and chaos changed as tides floated
Uneasy and wobbly similar to traveling boats
Up or down, with straw sticks grasping
Steering wheel holding for the time clouds
Time goes likewise the seagulls chasing
From starting point to the place anchor
Heart awaits longly for people nauseating
While mind gonna sparks be star exciting

Whether there be kingdoms
or dominions on high in places unknown.
Whether it be heaven or earth.
Whether it be it principalities or thrones.
Whether things be invisible,
or things that we can clearly see -
well, God has made it all my friends,
made it all for you and me.
And we don’t understand it,
we flap our wings and try to fly.
We study everything on earth,
and keeping looking deeper into the sky.
We spin around every day.
I guess we’re doing the best we can.
Somehow we never see what’s plain to see -
we are in his hands.
So, whether there be kingdoms,
and places we dream of in worlds unknown.
Whether it here and now,
or some far place that we call home.
Whether we be neighbors,
or separated by land and sea.
Well, God has made it all my friends.
He made it for you and me.
Yeah, God has made it all my friends.
He made it all for you and me.
The thirteenth kingdom says that he is the word so great
Born from the king of kings, who gave his dear son a mandate
To enter the world the word formed as it is his fate
The word received glory before he left through heaven’s gate
And entered the flowing waters to quench the powers
Especially their flaming and chaotic desires
But the kingless generation, those children above the stars of night
Whispers that the invisible light chose him to enter the chaos and plight
Chose him from all the eternal realms, to carry five seals of insight
In him was the seed of gnosis, to grow and know the truth and light
“Out of a foreign air and realm, the sun of life appeared in our midst
Christ, the son, chose us to shine in the Pleroma, out of the mist”
You stole my far away kingdom
didn't say what for?
Said I didn't have the jurisdiction
to grapple my own crown
The ice resurrects steely bacteria
will our antibiotics endure?
I feel all elephantine
the piper is never paid
My foot prints are all asunder
on ancient sanded dunes
My ship is sinking
The troubadour sings
The innkeeper perilously on the cliff yelps
some erratum does he detect
The silence slips away
The sanguine tides crusade
Upended sentences are untold
To touch the earth
and see a circuit of lies
shrouded by a nothing call
The hoofs of horses roam
to myriad kingdoms
putting your best foot forward
mineral, vegetable, animal
the more complexity
totally and simply fatal
The King there in His beauty,
Without a veil is seen;
It were a well spent journey,
Though deaths lay between.
We have troubles on every hand
The Lamb with His powerful army
On the top of Mt Zion stand,
in the citadel of Immanuel's glory.
The elders' praise is reminiscent.
of the universe in rapturous praise
the king regal and resplendent
upon him the world fixes their gaze.
Conclusion which is of the future
And he shall reign forever.
Kingdoms and countries fill the earth,
King and Queen, Prince and Princess wisely
Reign empire with providence sovereignty,
Royal rank, authority, and power with ties key.
Ancient Egyptian Empire also Hittite and Babylonian
Large empires Assyrian, Persian, and Median realms prong,
World of Roman Empire ruled for centuries long,
Carolingian Empire reigning in the old-world throng.
New world Incan and Mayan Empire taken over
Spanish Empire liked the gold and shipped to their king,
British Empire the sun never set grew far and wide
Austria-Hungary large European kingdom covering wing.
American and Canada countries in growth
Switzerland selling Swiss chocolate welcome sweet tooth,
Israel, Ireland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania independent
Australia, Portugal, Italy countries display the voting booth.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise be unto our
Lord God Almighty!
Victorious King!
Sing! Sing! Sing!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Glory to
God in the Highest!
The kingdoms of this world now belong
to the King of Kings and Lords of Lords!
His glorious reigns shall be forever
and forever more! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!
The sons and daughters of our Victorious
Jesus Christ. Shall forever praise him
and sing. Victory! Victory! Victory!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Behold former things have passed
away and all things have become
new. Heaven and earth will
pass away. But his word
shall never fail!
Love in Christ Jesus!

truth or lies bid two kingdoms with sure keys and brave tongues of life or death

We need war but not with people
We need to war those who steer war.
We must sort but not of nation
We must sort out those who sort us.
And say we are not your lambs now!
And shout Kingdoms are made by Victories!
We must learn to fly flags not rags
We must learn to fly our souls' flag.
We need science to see past frontiers
We need science to invent oneness.
And say sapiens are one species!
And shout Kingdoms are made by Victories!
We need speech not of origins
We need speech showing Origin.
We must be wealthy but not rich
We must be wealthy in our hearts.
And say foreign's but assumption!
And shout Kingdoms are made by Victories!
Kingdom's Door
When your broken and your tired and have given it your best,
It's your flesh that's growing weary, for the Spirit needs no rest.
There comes a day, not far away, when Satan will be free.
To wage a war on God himself, and all humanity.
You see they are among us, each and every day.
Tempting and deceiving, they look for easy prey.
Michael and God's Angels can no longer ignore.
When Satan and his soldiers are at the Kingdoms door.
.
After they're defeated and thrown down to the earth.
Heaven, God's great Kingdom, will always be restored.
