Child Of My Kingdom - Arthur Brown

People watching from high places

Print their minds on others faces

See the world that turns upon them

So many thoughts lying far beyond them

Child of my kingdom

See the hand that wipes tears from my brain

Tears of a lifetime

So many hours days upon hours, nights upon time

Nights without time

You know for once in your life

You just don’t want to be free

Because I’m leading you on to

Just where you’re leaving me

And you can follow the path

Though there’s no footsteps to see

I won’t be leading you, leaving you child

I just keep driving you, driving you wild

You know for once in your life

You just don’t want to be free

Because I’m leading you on to

Just where you’re leaving me

And you can follow the path

Though there’s no footsteps to see

I won’t be leading you, leaving you child

I just keep driving you, driving you wild

Child of my kingdom

See the hand wiping tears from my brain

Catch the drops where minds plead within you

See the teeth that withdraw their sting from your eyes, your eyes

You know for once in your life

You just don’t want to be free

Because I’m leading you on to

Just where you’re leaving me

And you can follow the path

Though there’s no footsteps to see

I won’t be leading you, leaving you child

I just keep driving you, driving you wild

Child, child of my kingdom

You catch the tears where warmth lies bleeding from a

Child of fire

Swords are flashing in a light

And a tree full of dew drips

Where you mind seeps to mine

And we cling to our fine religion

To our fine religion

In your dew, thoughts for all

Mind upon mine

Giving thoughts in thoughts

Patterns put on your brain

As they stand at hand

In my garden

With the key

To my kingdom
