Lyrics Ruins - Daniel Tompkins

Ruins

Castles don’t survive through kings' emptied hearts
With your hand in mine we conquered it all
We are the stars, the lords of a new age
We are the legends and secret of outrage
We are the ones, bringer of brightest light
All of these castles crumbling tonight
We are the song of conquest and crier
We are the burning of unquenched desire
We are the sun, the sanctity and the fight
All of these masters fall away tonight
Breathing ash and flame, our hands we will bind
Crested, no man came to serve single hand
We are the stars, the lords of a new age
We are the legends and secret of outrage
We are the ones, bringer of brightest light
All of these castles crumbling tonight
We are the song of conquest and crier
We are the burning of unquenched desire
We are the sun, the sanctity and the fight
All of these masters fall away tonight
I feel you inside me, a stabbing unwinding
And somehow I’m certain, no questions, no lying
You shan’t be so frightened, my hands, you are carried
And softly reminded it’s fate that’s behind
A kingdom awaits you, a master obeys you
Be still and be quiet, your heart will not silent
I nurture your touch and your tongue and your violence
You’re tender, my firmness, my fire, my kindness
A taste of your softness, I fill you with wanting
A comfort, a warmth of a love ever growing
We’re tearing away the resistance we scatter
The fear of unknowing, we shun ever after
We are the stars, the lords of a new age
We are the legends and secret of outrage
We are the ones, bringer of brightest light
