The Kingdom's Come Undone Written by Ronnie Montrose,  Ricky Phillips Lead Vocals by  Ricky Phillips You see the man in the mirror You can't see through his disguise Remember that face in his hand As he holds on in wild eyes Chop down the old weeping willow And see the hangman fall Deep down to the roots, therein lies the truth to desire In my life See them run In our time The kingdom's come undone Next in line Who will be next to carry on Is there a method in his madness Once the madman's crossed the line When his strength and beliefs become our legacy Will you stiffen for all of mankind Take the hood off the hangman And see the face of us all With your freedom of choice Will you be the voice With the blade of the axe when it falls In my life The freedom bell is rung When the death bells toll The kingdom's come undone The mirror sees you look away Others speak their mind Upon our shoulders, now will lay The generation next in line Is there method in his madness Onc
