The Ruin Lyrics

While he walks by the rambling river stream

Sun drew itself over the hills yonder

Touring countryside nourishes once self-esteem

Only lucky men have a chance and time to wonder

Ruin is calling you from inside of your soul

Bewitched red fluid flows

Weathered black pillar reveals its true nature

Slow death is certain now

Sway down, lay down, lie with me

The merit of passion dwells under the stars

Stay one night, one nigh only

While the night glooms in bright jade eyes

Ring out, ring this solstice bell, yeah!

Let your limbs now eagerly stray

Drink this Nepenthe, drain it now, yeah!

Dress your wedding robe carved of stone

Just another stone

Filling the temple wall

Just another stone

All is dense there is no door

Just another stone

In hell thou forever moan

Just another stone

Returned life as it is only a loan

Swallowed by the ruin the maiden into crater

Every cell turning to stone for eternity

Terrified thoughts hissed fear, horrible fear and hatred

Ancient ruin is core of all, the nitty gritty

Once in the blue-moon they'll rest by the campfire

Lured into shadows

Gaze into red flames of your funeral pyre

See the souls fly out

Sway down, lay down, lie with me

The merit of passion dwells under the stars

Stay one night, one nigh only

While the night glooms in bright jade eyes

Ring out, ring this solstice bell, yeah!

Let your limbs now eagerly stray

Drink this Nepenthe, drain it now, yeah!

Dress your wedding robe carved of stone

Just another stone

Filling the temple wall

Just another stone

All is dense there is no door

Just another stone

In hell thou forever moan

Just another stone

Returned life as it is only a loan

Only a loan

Only a loan
