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
