about

Ruins is the first single after our debut EP "Predator".

lyrics

Like a vessel lost at sea I'm getting carried away
Drifting at the will of my habits my curse out into the grey

It’s the same old shit see it over and over again
Not a flaw not a crack on the surface it seems
The walls are built to last an eternity
I can't be deceived I'll burn them down

I send a prayer to the sky
a light shooting through the night
my deliverance
flies like Icarus high

And as I wish upon a dying star
For all of this to fall apart
For an ember to ignite the flame
that burns it to the ground.
I dream of redefining freedom,
nothing else I could want more
Than a new world built on top
of ancient ruins yet to fall.

In this moment ill-inspired
weakness I can overcome
Out of reach from the desired
I always thought that I was strong
Yet I stand in silence
My fate in my hands

I send a prayer to the sky
a light shooting through the night
my deliverance
flies like Icarus high
Go ahead and bury your faith
For your deliverance is sentenced to death

But I keep on doing nothing
And I keep on doing fine
But I keep on thinking what there could have been instead

I back off from making progress
I delude myself
And I leave it to the savior in my head

And as I wish upon a dying star
For all of this to fall apart
For an ember to ignite the flame
that burns it to the ground.
I dream of redefining freedom,
nothing else I could want more
Than a new world built on top
of ancient ruins yet to fall.
