Ruins

(Go) they walked this withered wasteland (go)
The taste of ash in every breath (go)
A violent past forsaken (go)
The creed 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

Oh, so don't let your downfall be destiny
Don't blame the stars
(Oh) so don't let your downfall be destiny
The moment is ours

(Go) all monuments now remnants (go)
The grandiose reduced to dust (go)
Those sacred names abolished (go)
This future we must trust

It is our duty to replenish
Envisage life eclipsing death and fate
From sallow youth to decrepit
The tarnished start to reason faith

Oh, so don't let your downfall be destiny
Don't blame the stars
(Oh) 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

Oh, so don't let your downfall be destiny
Don't blame the stars
(Oh) so don't let your downfall be destiny
The moment is ours

(Go) I walked this withered wasteland (go)
A sense of purpose in each step (go)
Wherever this path takes us (go)
We'll tread with pure intent

(Ohh)
(Ohh)
