Verse 1: In shadows I creep, where darkness reigns The wind whispers my name, in hollow pains I come for your weak, your frail and your child To shatter their hopes, to burn out their shield My presence is cancer, a rot in the bone A chill that seeps deep, into every home Chorus: I am the Ruin, crumbler of dreams Ender of lines, burner of schemes Corrupting the strong, infecting the pure Leaving only ashes, and hearts that endure Verse 2: Your foundations shake, your walls begin to crack The ground beneath gives way, as I take my track I am the stain, the smudge on your soul A slow-moving plague, that makes you lose control My touch is poison, my breath is decay Leaving only ruin, in my wake each day Chorus: I am the Ruin, crumbler of dreams Ender of lines, burner of schemes Corrupting the strong, infecting the pure Leaving only ashes, and hearts that endure Verse 3: In every crevice, I find a chink to exploit A weakness to wield, a fear to invite I am the whisper, in your ear at night The darkness that follows, when you turn out the light My presence is the ache, in your bones so deep The weight of my shadow, that makes you want to creep Chorus: I am the Ruin, crumbler of dreams Ender of lines, burner of schemes Corrupting the strong, infecting the pure Leaving only ashes, and hearts that endure Bridge: In the silence, I hear your screams As your world begins, to shatter and scream But still you cling, to the hope in your heart Though it's a fleeting thing, and soon will depart I am the Ruin of all that's bright, I am the Ruin that brings endless night, I am the Ruin that burns in your soul, I am the Ruin that makes hearts turn cold, I am the Ruin that shatters the ground, I am the Ruin that sends souls to drown, The winds howl my name, as the earth does bend, I am the Ruin, at the end, I transcend (The Ruin!) Chorus: I am the Ruin, crumbler of dreams Ender of lines, burner of schemes Corrupting the strong, infecting the pure Leaving only ashes, and hearts that endure
