The Kingdom
Lost and Found Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is making me
Want to see you
I want to scream at you
You didn't catch me
I took the fall
But I have made it you see
This is me on top
This is my kingdom you see
Without my friends around me
I wouldn't be here
The pain it cost me
Guilty I plead
Of a broken heart
But yet it has healed
You didn't catch me
I took the fall
But I have made it you see
This is me on top
This is my kingdom you see
Without my friends around me
I wouldn't be here
It took some time
To detach myself from you
Now finally be
Myself!
This is me on top
This is my kingdom you see
Without my friends around me
I wouldn't be here
The Kingdom by Lost and Found is a song that tells the story of a hero who goes through different challenges, both external and internal, to reach a place of power where he can defeat his enemies and find peace within himself. The lyrics depict a journey through a wasteland, riding a horse and wearing armor that has been ripped by fire and ice. The hero describes the sky as black, and the stormy wind blowing through his hair. However, he is not alone in this journey. He is joined by the spirit of metal, a flame that guides him through the dark, and the legacy of his kind.
As he carries on his journey, he faces various obstacles, such as oppression and lying, but he does not succumb to them. He is guided by the wisdom's voice to overcome his own emotions and fears. He is not afraid of the battle that lies ahead of him and vows to conquer all the enemies that stand in his way. He is determined to reach the kingdom of his will and to prevail.
The lyrics of The Kingdom can be interpreted as an allegory for personal and spiritual growth. The hero represents the human spirit that goes through many trials and tribulations to achieve its goals. The wastelands represent the difficulties and challenges we encounter in life. The enemies represent the different obstacles and barriers we face on our path. The kingdom of our will represents a place of power and personal growth, where we find peace and strength.

Riding from wastelands
Starting my journey from a barren land.
Black were their skies
The surroundings were gloomy and dark.
My Armour's still bleeding
My armor is damaged and has been injured during my journey.
Ripped by fire and ice
The damage on my armors has been caused by exposure to extreme heat and cold.
Watch the horseman wing out of the night
Observe the arrival of the hero in the dark.
He's coming to save you, prepare! For now he arrives
He is here to rescue you, get ready for his coming.
Mounting through storm lands
Riding through lands full of storms and danger.
With the wind in my hair
My hair is being blown by the strong wind.
The spell I've broken
I have broken free from the curse that was holding me captive.
Like the chains of despair
It was a feeling of utter hopelessness that I was fighting against.
Share this flame that guides me in the dark
Spread the light that helps me navigate through the darkness.
The spirit of metal, the legacy of our kind
The strength of the metal and the tradition passed on from our ancestors.
To the kingdom of my will
Reaching the place where I have the power to make decisions.
From dungeons of emotions
Moving away from the prison of my feelings.
Wisdom's voice is guiding me
I am being led by the voice of reason.
Leads me through all tortures
Helps me overcome all the hardships.
Eyes of faith for me to see
Having a firm belief that everything will work out in my favor.
The rotten deeds of liars
The corrupt actions of the deceivers.
World that turned to misery I brave
I am fearlessly facing a world full of troubles.
And the pure shall prevail
The genuine and sincere will emerge victorious.
Led by that golden voice
Guided by the wise words of someone who leads by example.
Slaves of corruption
The people who are bound to the evils of the society.
You'll fall by my hand
I will defeat you with my power.
And all mind oppressors
Those who manipulate and control people's thoughts.
Will be chased to the end
I will pursue them until they are brought to justice.
Fear the steel that's meant for all you rats!
Tremble in fear at the weapon that will destroy all the deceivers.
The essence of insight, the truth, that longs for your heads
The truth that I possess and want to share with everyone.
Cross the life's unflagging sea
Navigating through life's constant trials and tribulations.
Through air I fly on thunder
I soar through the sky with great power.
Gift of force is meant for me
I have been blessed with immense strength.
Refills the chambers of my heart
The power rejuvenates my soul and keeps me going.
Forced to yield the hypocrites
Compelling the hypocrites to surrender.
But orders I'll not follow
I will not obey orders blindly.
Worms of lie surrounding me
I am being surrounded by those who are spreading lies.
Now see my wings of war!
Now witness my power to fight back.
The battle's confronting me
I am facing an intense battle.
And for me... the battle has started again
I am a fighter who keeps starting fresh, even after every defeat.
If you think I rest in wait
Don't assume that I am sitting idle.
Until the fame will shine on me...
Until I am recognized for my achievements.
Through the mist I led myself!
I found my way even through difficult times.
The peak of dreams I reach by will!
I am determined to achieve my aspirations.
Today is The Day!
Today is the day to take action and make things happen.
Hey! You!
Look at me, pay attention!
Hey!
Listen to me!
