Lyrics

There is a whole mountain and a river runs through it
If you split my mountain wide you would find many rivers
Among flocks of non-white doves and non-temptable mortals
The kingdom is much more real and the beauty is endless
Only when tightened beyond recall
Is your necklace a blessing
Leave your pearls in the sea
You undeserved bitch
You are not worthy of such a treasure
My hand on your heart
I know there is a beating in this oh so bleak landscape
There are many mountains... but not so much water
My kingdom

Info

Darren about the song : The "Kingdom" in the song is one's own day to day existence - one's own entire life (the kingdom in your mind... your thoughts, your beliefs, your fears, loves, desires, hatred, etc). The "mountain" is the principle place in the "Kingdom" and is of the mind, soul, body, or the combination. The "river" is of thought, understanding, feeling, or the combination. The "oh, so bleak landscape" represents the outside world of people who maybe don't have so many "rivers". I used symbolism because it seemed boring at the time to write things down very straightforward and "straight to the point".
