Ruin

I built these Gates
Of hate
To protect my heart
I built these walls
I sure hope they
Don't fall apart
I filled these halls
With heroes
And I know their fate
I built this fortress around my soul and I called it hate
I built this fortress around my soul and I called it hate

And now my hate
My hate is a ruin
I said my hate
My hate is a ruin
And now my pain is overrun
Seems like the siege of time is never truly done
Seems like the siege of time is never truly done

I built this town
To occupy my mind
I tilled the ground
To feed the people right
I built this church
So they could worship in their own way
I built this town around my hate and I called it pain
I built this town around my hate and I called it pain

And now my hate
My hate is a ruin
I said my hate
My hate is a ruin
And my pain is overrun
Seems like the siege of time is never truly done
Seems like the siege of time is never truly done

I built this box that locks all my love away
I put my hopes and dreams in and there they'll stay
I found this hole in me deep beneath my hate
I built a tomb for it down there and I called it faith
I built a tomb for it down there and I called it faith

And now my hate
My hate is a ruin
I said my hate
My hate is a ruin
And my pain is overrun
Seems like the siege of time is never truly done
Seems like the siege of time is never truly done

And now my hate
my hate is a ruin
I said my hate
My hate is a ruin
And my pain is overrun
Seems like the siege of time is never truly done
Seems like the siege of time is never truly done
