Never been one to let the carrier drop

What with one thing and another I haven’t gotten any recording that wasn’t either my album or someone else’s done this year – until now. Here is me covering VNV Nation’s “Kingdom” – another song done especially for Chris Mish 😉 But I hope you’ll all enjoy it anyway.

Sheer Covers VNV Nation-Kingdom

This is a cover, so presumably the original is copyright VNV Nation. Here’s the lyrics (and chord chart) anyway:

Verse 1:

========

    G#m

Our domain, this kingdom come,

now godless lands whose ways are lost

Without the strength to carry on.

All values lost, all virtue none.
Part II:

========

         G#m                  D#m

Did you think that you’d be saved

            C#

by burning flags to cleanse yourselves of shame?

             G#m             C#          D#m

Or are you afraid, as you stare back at your face?

            G#m             F#          C#               D#m

Or are you ashamed, are you afraid, by destroying what the gods once gave?
G# F# E C#
G#m

————-  Do you think that you’ll be saved?
         B                  F#

And I believe that we’ll conceive

            C#m          G#m

to make in hell for us a heaven.

             B                 F#

A brave new world, a promised land.

        C#m                G#m

A fortitude of hearts and minds.

         E                  B

Until I see this kingdom’s mine

               F#            C#m

I’ll turn the darkness into light.

                E                 B

I’ll guide the blind. My will be done

            F#           C#m             G#m

until the day I say our kingdom has been won.

G#m

  No more the servants of the weak

devoid of thought or light to seek.

I’ll leave no walls, no stone unturned.

Every tower must be razed …
Part III:

========

              D#m

  … to the dust from which it came.

              C#

None will be spared, no remnant saved.

              G#m             F#          C#                 D#min

And are you ashamed, are you afraid of the gods and idols that you have made?

G#m                        F#          C#                 D#min

   Do you think you’ll be saved by the gods and idols that you have made?
G#m      F#m  E              C#

 ———————-   None will be saved.

G#m

   None will be saved.   
(Chorus)

(Solo)

(Chorus)
