Ruin I Was Meant To Be

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Cold ash settles on the ruined spire

I count the years I burned away

No god answers

No god ever came

The sky splits open like an unhealed scar

I stopped praying when the silence got loud

Pre-Chorus

And nothing waits beyond the wall

Nothing waits beyond the wall

Chorus

Let it all collapse

Let it all fall

Every word I screamed into the void was wasted

Let it all collapse

Let it all fall

I am the ruin I was always meant to be

Verse 2

Shattered shields and broken vows

The throne of dust I built myself

Kings rot like the rest

Saints forget my name

I crowned my fury in a crown of rust

And wore it proudly to the end

Pre-Chorus

And nothing waits beyond the wall

Nothing waits beyond the wall

Chorus

Let it all collapse

Let it all fall

Every word I screamed into the void was wasted

Let it all collapse

Let it all fall

I am the ruin I was always meant to be

Bridge

Frail as frost

Fierce as fire

Final as the closing of a throat

I will not mourn

I will not kneel

I will not kneel

Chorus

Let it all collapse

Let it all fall

Every word I screamed into the void was wasted

Let it all collapse

Let it all fall

I am the ruin I was always meant to be
