Ours is the Kingdom is the fourth album by English Anglo-Saxon metal band Forefather. Its title is a play on the line of the Lord's Prayer "For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory". The lyrics of the track are a statement against Christianity and a defiant will to reclaim the English kingdom from an alien God. The cover art depicts a dead crusader warrior, an image meant to symbolise Christian decay.

"Our hearts lie not in heaven,
Nor Eastern desert sands."
