The Ruins Lyrics

I feel the waves coming crash over

I feel the current pull me down

Ripped from the surface my passion is drowned

Depths of her darkness, the ocean awake

Gasping for air as I suffocate

Our home destroyed and our comfort is taken

Alone is my heart and our temples forsaken

Left with nothing, my sorrow undine

The ghost of our passion, the deepest of green

Fragments, the buildings are crumbled to stone

The haunting that dwells at the bottom

Crumbled the rubble, compassion to stone

The ruins of memories forgotten

Stained in glass, imprisoned in mirrors

Sinking into the unknown

The paint of my portrait drips down from the walls

My smile runs off of the canvas

The black of the void is calling my name

To sink with this ship is my purpose

Batten down the hatches

Dragged away from the light of day

Pulled from the air to the deepest dismay

Surface fading

Fading away

Light refracting

Under the waves

Echoes of never, leagues beneath

The gods are nowhere, the light unseen

And as I gaze into the sea

The abyss stares back at me

Into the void of my fantasy

The abyss stares back at me
