Kingdom Come
Cold Driven Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take my life from me
And bury me in blame
Cover all your lies
And leave them in my name

There's nothing left to lose
You took it all away
And now I'm staring through
These dead and weary eyes

The darkness will come
The gallows will call
The streets will turn red
And now you will know I've come for you

My kingdom will come
Take you one by one
My kingdom will come
Take you one by one

There's nowhere to run
There's nowhere to hide
One by one
My kingdom will come

My kingdom come
My kingdom

Hates the perfect fuel
Revenge becomes the flame
Light your world ablaze
And do it without shame

There's nothing left to lose
I took it all away
And now I'm staring in
Your dead and weary eyes

Darkness will come
Gallows will call
The streets will turn red
And now you will know I've come for you

My kingdom will come
Take you one by one
My kingdom will come
Take you one by one

There's nowhere to run
There's nowhere to hide
One by one
My kingdom will come

Does it kill you to lie awake
And feel sleepless at night
(Lie awake)
Does it kill you like awake
And feel sleepless at night, at night
I know you're praying

And now you will know I've come for you

My kingdom will come
Take you one by one
My kingdom will come
Take you one by one

There's nowhere to run
There's nowhere to hide
One by one
My kingdom will come

There's nowhere to run
One by one
My kingdom will come

My kingdom come
My kingdom
My kingdom come
My kingdom
My kingdom come
My kingdom
My kingdom come




My kingdom
Is taking you one by one

Overall Meaning

The song "Kingdom Come" by Cold Driven appears to be an anthem of revenge against someone who has betrayed the singer, who is now vowing to take down the betrayer and their associates. The lyrics speak of taking away someone's life and leaving them in blame for the lies that were told. The singer declares that they took everything away from the betrayer and now they are staring through "dead and weary eyes." The darkness, gallows, and red streets are all imagery of violent, vengeful actions being taken against the betrayer. The repeated line "my kingdom will come, take you one by one" indicates a slow and methodical vengeance, with every person who was involved in the betrayal being targeted and brought down.


The second part of the song shifts to the singer becoming the one seeking revenge, using hate as fuel and setting the betrayer's world ablaze without shame. The line "there's nothing left to lose, I took it all away" shows that the singer has gone beyond simply seeking justice but has become just as ruthless and destructive as the betrayer. The repeated "darkness will come" refrain implies a sense of inevitability, with the singer sure of their eventual success in taking down their target.


Overall, "Kingdom Come" is a song about the consequences of betrayal and the lengths that some people will go to in order to seek revenge. It is a warning to those who would harm others that they will not go unpunished.

Take my life from me
I willingly surrender my life to you


And bury me in blame
May I be held responsible for your wrongdoings


Cover all your lies
Hide the truth and fabrications with deception


And leave them in my name
Attribute your lies to me and let me bear the consequences


There's nothing left to lose
I have lost everything that mattered to me


You took it all away
You were responsible for my loss


And now I'm staring through
I am looking past my current state of sorrow and despair


These dead and weary eyes
My eyes that were once filled with life and energy are now empty and tired


The darkness will come
A time of misery and gloom will envelop everything


The gallows will call
Death will come for those who have committed evil deeds


The streets will turn red
Blood will be shed


And now you will know I've come for you
Your time of judgment has come


My kingdom will come
I will reign over you with absolute power


Take you one by one
I will take each one of you down individually

Hates the perfect fuel
Hatred is the driving force behind my actions


Revenge becomes the flame
I am consumed by a desire for vengeance


Light your world ablaze
I will bring destruction to all that you hold dear


And do it without shame
I am unapologetic for what I am about to do


I took it all away
I have been responsible for causing destruction


And now I'm staring in
I am now facing your wrath


Your dead and weary eyes
Your eyes that were once filled with confidence and determination are now empty and hopeless


Does it kill you to lie awake
Do you suffer from guilt when you are unable to sleep


And feel sleepless at night
Do you experience restlessness and anxiety during the night


I know you're praying
I am aware of your attempts to seek forgiveness


My kingdom
My power and control


Is taking you one by one
You will be dealt with individually in my reign of terror
