[Verse 1]
When the dDays are cold
And the cAards all fold
And the sBmaints we see
Are all mGade of gold
When your drDeams all fail
And the oAnes we hail
Are the wBmorst of all
And the blGood’s run stale
[Pre-Chorus]
  DI wanna hide the trAuth
I wanna shelter yBmou
But with the beast insGide
There’s nowhere we can hDide
No matter what we brAeed
We still are made of grBmeed
This is my kingdom cGome
               N.C.
This is my kingdom come
[Chorus]
  DWhen you feel my hAeat
Look into my eBmyes
It’s where my demons hGide
It’s where my demons hDide
Don’t get too clAose
It’s dark insBmide
It’s where my demons hGide
It’s where my demons hDide
[Verse 2]
At the cDurtain’s call
It's the lAast of all
When the lBmights fade out
All the sGinners crawl
So they dDug your grave
And the mAasquerade
Will come cBmalling out
At the mGess you made
[Pre-Chorus]
  DDon’t wanna let you dAown
But I am hellbBmound
Though this is all for yGou
Don’t wanna hide the trDuth
No matter what we brAeed
We still are made of grBmeed
This is my kingdom cGome
           N.C.
This is my kingdom come
[Chorus]

Look into my eBmyes

They say it’s what you make
I say it’s up to fBmate
It’s woven in my sGoul
I need to let you gDo
Your eyes, they shine so brAight
I wanna save that lBmight
                       N.C.
I can’t escape this now
Unless you show me hDow

Lyrics & chords · Original key

[Verse 1]

When the days are cold

And the cards all fold

And the saints we see

Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail

And the ones we hail

Are the worst of all

And the blood’s run stale

[Pre-Chorus]

D A

I wanna hide the truth

I wanna shelter you

But with the beast inside

There’s nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed

We still are made of greed

This is my kingdom come

N.C.

This is my kingdom come

[Chorus]

D A

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It’s where my demons hide

Don’t get too close

It’s dark inside

It’s where my demons hide

[Verse 2]

At the curtain’s call

It's the last of all

When the lights fade out

All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave

And the masquerade

Will come calling out

At the mess you made

[Pre-Chorus]

D A

Don’t wanna let you down

But I am hellbound

Though this is all for you

Don’t wanna hide the truth

No matter what we breed

We still are made of greed

This is my kingdom come

N.C.

This is my kingdom come

[Chorus]

D A

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It’s where my demons hide

Don’t get too close

It’s dark inside

It’s where my demons hide

[Bridge]

D A

()

They say it’s what you make

I say it’s up to fate

It’s woven in my soul

I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright

I wanna save that light

N.C.

I can’t escape this now

Unless you show me how

[Chorus]

D A

()

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It’s where my demons hide

Don’t get too close

It’s dark inside

It’s where my demons hide
