Sands of Ruin

[Verse 1] I walked in dust with iron in my jaw Burned names stitched into my skin Your kings sold bones for a mouthful of gold Now the vultures circle in Cursed lantern hanging over my head Black smoke crawling up the wall I heard the drum from the buried dead And I answered one and all [Pre-Chorus] Raise the veil Let the pain come through I was made for this And I came for you [Chorus] Sands of ruin, take my name Sands of ruin, feed the flame I break I burn I stand again Sands of ruin, take my name [Verse 2] Mothers count scars like prayer beads worn thin Brothers sleep with blades by the cot The river runs red through the cracked old streets And forgets what mercy got I bit down hard on the serpent’s lie Spit it back in the face of shame Now every wound in my mouth says rise Now every wound says the same [Pre-Chorus] Raise the veil Let the pain come through I was made for this And I came for you [Chorus] Sands of ruin, take my name Sands of ruin, feed the flame I break I burn I stand again Sands of ruin, take my name [Bridge] Hear the horns in the bone yard Hear them call my blood One step left in the grave yard Then I rise from mud [Breakdown] Kneel Kneel Taste the dust you made Kneel Kneel I am the wrath you gave [Final Chorus] Sands of ruin, take my name Sands of ruin, feed the flame I break I burn I stand again Sands of ruin, take my name
