Ruins that Remain Lyrics

Ashen grey, poisoned horizon

As you cling to your toppled throne

A dying dream for a dying world

A future overthrown

Crimson pools wash over concrete

A solemn promise, a sombre tone

The end of a failed undertaking

That we can't condone

As lead rips through

Young flesh, it proved

That if we can bleed

Then so can you

This wasn't a fight, this was a war

We trample on the ruins that remain

As we carry the weight of what we've done

And what has been left in our wake

This wasn't a fight, this was a war

We trample on the ruins that remain

As we carry the weight of what we've done

And what has been left in our wake

What starts as resolve, determination

Cut short by the weight of steel

Best laid plans and machinations

Waste away as they bled

Left to look straight in the mirror

Weight of what has come to pass

Every shot, a declaration

There is no going back!

As lead rips through

Young flesh, it proved

That if we can bleed

Then so can you and if tonight's our last I swear that it's yours too!

This wasn't a fight, this was a war

We trample on the ruins that remain

As we carry the weight of what we've done

And what has been left in our wake

This wasn't a fight, this was a war

We trample on the ruins that remain

As we carry the weight of what we've done

And what has been left in our wake

What was once bathed in light

Is now decayed, buried in lye

This wasn't a fight, this was a war

We trample on the ruins that remain

As we carry the weight of what we've done

And what has been left in our wake

This wasn't a fight, this was a war

We trample on the ruins that remain

As we carry the weight of what we've done

And what has been left in our wake
