Kingdom Come Undone Lyrics

While the noose is tightening
You still sit here on your fleeting thrones
So busy with your own little feuds
And your own blinker crowns

But we all are Gauls
And we are free at least by now
So take the fucking plunge
Rise and unite

Arise!
United we'll stand!

This is V for vengeance
This is V for vehemence
This is V for victory
This is V for Vercingetorix

Let them feel the Gaulish violence
Impetuous furor
The bite of our blades
Let them see our freedoms ensign
Let us raise our clenched fists in pride

What benefit will it be
To save your crowns but forfeit your freedom at last?
We are one folk and we can make a stand
So lay down your crowns now
Rise and unite

Arise!
United we'll stand!
Bestir!
Wake up!
As one we'll prevail!

This is V for verdict
This is V for valour
This is V for venture
This is reVolt
This is kingdom come undone

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.

From the bonus DVD, section "A CLOSER LOOK AT THE LYRICS": "A song about Vercingetorix - a Gaulish warrior who definitely went down in history! During the Gaulish war he tried to unite the diverse tribes of Gallia (who partly even were at enmity) under one banner and so repel the Roman invasion and end it once and for all. The lyrics portray a passionate speech of Vercingetorix how he probably could have held it in front of assembled rulers of different Gaulish clans."

Personally I'll just add that this venture failed miserably - Vercingetorix finally gave up and surrendered to the Romans in order to protect his people. He was publically executed in Rome.

Is it just me or is there some "V For Vendetta" influence visible? ;)
