Virgin Steele - Life Among The Ruins lyrics

rate me

[Music and lyrics: De Feis]

Gunfire up in heaven no religion here

raping your salvation, the last sound that you'll hear

the snap of the noose the crack of the whip

the hangman's face is torn

in shameless crucifixion a savage nation's born

Behold the new messiah, arising from the wound

in rags of execution freedom is consumned

You are a rose you are a blade

I'm down on my knees in the dark in the fiery reign

life among the ruins

I've lived among the ruins walked among the dead

loved among the wreckage beneath a flag of red

communion of blood so bitter the cup

a union born of fear

creation and perdition a world within a tear

Behold the new messiah, arising from his bed

holier in silence, paler than the dead

[Chorus]

[Chorus/with - I challenge you to love my bride of pain]

With the dying sun of autumn bathing us in gold

we walk the desolation hand in hand against the cold

while rampant runs the reaper all thru the barren plains

with sycthe in hand he reaches to harvest the last remains

in agony you stumble with a curse upon your lips you die

I can't feel you anymore

vengeance is mine!

[Chorus 2x/with - bare your breast and save this child of pain]

life among the ruins
