Lyrics[]
Hear the screams of the newborn dominions
Hear the screams of your proud outlaw sons
Hear the screams of the old kingdom dying
Hear the screams of the new kingdom come
God speed, God speed, God speed us home!!
Hear the screams of the street-fighting angels
Hear the scream of a land being torn
Hear the scream of the magic of chaos
Hear the screams of a dream being born
God speed, God speed, God speed us home!!
Don't ask me questions
Don't give me flowers
Don't tell me love is the only way!
Don't look for reasons
Don't look for meaning
Just get yourself out of the way!
Black panthers scream at the heat!
White panthers scream at the heat!
Flesh on flesh in the street
Kingdom come, kingdom come, kingdom come!
Hear the screams of the newborn dominions
Hear the screams of your proud outlaw sons
Hear the screams of the old kingdom dying
Hear the screams of the new kingdom come
God speed, God speed, God speed us home!!
Hear the screams of the street-fighting angels
Hear the screams of a land being torn
Hear the screams of the magic of chaos
Hear the screams of a dream being born
God speed, God speed, God speed us home!!
