The Darwin Song Project Concert
Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury March 19th
Kingdom Come
written by Mark Erelli, Stu Hanna, Rachael McShane
performed by Mark Erelli, Stu Hanna, Rachael McShane, Karine Polwart, Emily Smith
In March 2009 eight folk singer/songwriters gathered together for a week long songwriting residential in rural Shropshire to create songs that had a relevance and resonance with Charles Darwin.
The eight artists were Chris Wood, Karine Polwart, Stu Hanna, Rachael McShane, Krista Detor, Emily Smith, Mark Erelli and Jez Lowe.
The whole concert was recorded for a CD and DVD release, and the 8 musicians reconvened at the Shrewsbury Folk Festival in August 2009, to once again perform the 19 songs that were written during the week.

The wasp she lays an egg
Neath a caterpillars skin
It hatches and the larva grows
Feasting from within
It kills the host then off it goes
To sting another one
Seems to me theres too much misery to believe in Kingdom Come
Kingdom Come, Kingdom Come
Seems to me theres too much misery to believe in Kingdom Come
Ive a secret guaranteed
To make the theologians squirm
All it takes is time to make a man
From the lowliest of worms
We are not the pinnacle
Nobodys chosen ones
Can the minds of men be trusted with such things as Kingdom Come
Kingdom Come, Kingdom Come
Can the minds of men be trusted with such things as Kingdom Come
Once I had a daughter
She died before her time
I sponged her fevered brow
And cursed her bilious decline
I feel her like a phantom limb
Pins and needles numb
Friend I cannot comprehend what makes you cling to Kingdom Come
Kingdom Come, Kingdom Come
Friend I cannot comprehend what makes you cling to Kingdom Come
Kingdom Come, Kingdom Come
Seems to me theres too much misery
Can the minds of men be trusted
I cannot comprehend what makes you cling to Kingdom Come
Ive known communion in conviction
And the loneliness of doubt
Does the master mark the sparrows fall
Or just let it all play out
If only for your sake my love
I wish I could succumb
Bridge the void and join for eternity in your Kingdom Come
Kingdom Come, Kingdom Come
Bridge the void and join for eternity in your Kingdom Come
Kingdom Come, Kingdom Come
Bridge the void and join for eternity in your Kingdom Come
Kingdom Come, Kingdom Come
Seems to me theres too much misery to believe in Kingdom Come
Kingdom Come, Kingdom Come
Can the minds of men be trusted with such things as Kingdom Come
