The Kingdom Lyrics

Oh, I hear the rains
I see the fire
I feel the flame
It doesn't change
All the faces I want to blame
For the spaces in between the shame
I'm feeling...

The Kingdom's calling
The Kingdom's calling you

You virgin saint
You virgin soul
Can't you hear me at all
Because the winds of change will blow
again
And when that highway ends
Will you hear it calling you

The Kingdom's calling you

We are the lucky ones...
Who travel on towards the sun
Baby, we're the lucky ones
Can you hear it calling you

The Kingdom's calling you
The Kingdom's calling
Thy will be done here
The Kingdom's calling you

I'll take care of you
This I know is true

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I can't say what this song is about, but I think it's awesome. It's like if his girl is attracted by some "kingdom" which I can't figure out what it is...

Jeff did elude to the meaning for this song at a show in Adelaide, though I can't remember. He did send the song out to his former Tea Party bandmates; Stuart and Jeff, and can be heard on the Live in Brisbane album to sing "...You virgin saints, you virgin souls, can't you boys hear me at all?". I do you remember that the Kingdom he refers to is a somewhat metaphysical and philosophical place, but not specifically religious. He was emphatic on that point.
