Among the Swarm

lyrics

Amidst the dreams of peace
Against the velvet skies
In the cool of dusk
I marked my way inside
I took the scent of calm
I made myself belong
Past droning men
I carried that ruse along

They did not hear my steps
They did not know my name
They counted their prayers
That we might be the same
They only smelled their own
Caught on the words I sing
They could not conceive that
I might be a king

No threats but violence
No cry out of their silence
I am the coming form
Right here among the swarm
No venom from the sweet
No cool among the heat
No shelter from the storm
In here among the swarm
And now I am the last
That they will let walk past
There is a new god born
Right here among the swarm
I am the kingdom come
I am the word undone
The one that they had scorned
Is king among the swarm

I marked my time as it was running down
I was on my way out when fate came calling round
I caught the scent of some new, exotic pollen
I stepped along the wings of those who she had fallen
I found their better, I spied her there alone
As I drank their nectar from the head of a fallen drone
Now from the songs of sleep, I knew the one I'd seen
On their count I'd keep the one they did call Queen

And then they said to me
You're not what you would be
You're the sum of all that she will never permit to receive
And when they said to me
You're not what you would be
I crushed them the force of all the faith one keeps in dreams

No threats but violence
No cry out of their silence
I am a coming form
Right here among the swarm
No venom from the sweet
No cool among the heat
No shelter from the storm
In here among the swarm
And now I am the last
That they will let walk past
There is a new god born
Right here among the swarm
I am the kingdom come
I am the word undone
The one that they had scorned
Is king among the swarm
