O to bathe in some clear, crystal water
That would wash me as white as the snow!
Every blemish, disease, and disorder,
In its pureness would all have to go.
I would learn to relax in its stil...

Your world turns round

If Kingdom Comes, We'll Be Undone

The cusp of kingdom come,
In which our own becomes undone,
Our lands, our bodies,
Shall be seized by the folly of a smoking gun.
Proof of tyranny has evaded eyes,
