Ruins lyrics

They walked this withered wasteland

The taste of ash in every breath

A violent past forsaken

The creeds did breed contempt

Seeking grace and beauty in the wreckage

Pure wisdom hides away in the decay

The shadowed truth foretold the message

The darkest heart can lead the right way

Here in ruins life still grows

Here in ruins, a blooming rose

Here in ruins love remains

We will rise again

So don't let your downfall be destiny

Don't blame the stars

So don't let your downfall be destiny

The moment is ours

All monuments now remnants

The grandiose reduced to dust

Those sacred names abolished

This future we must trust

It is our duty to replenish

Envisage life eclipsing death and fate

From sallow youth to the decrepit

The tarnished start to reason faith

So don't let your downfall be destiny

Don't blame the stars

So don't let your downfall be destiny

The moment is ours

Here in ruins life still grows

Here in ruins, a blooming rose

Here in ruins love remains

We will rise again

Hope is here, so near

Hope is here, a new life

Hope is here, so near

Hope is here, a new life

So don't let your downfall be destiny

Don't blame the stars

So don't let your downfall be destiny

The moment is ours

I walk this withered wasteland

A sense of purpose in each step

Wherever this path takes us

We'll tread with pure intent
