"In The Ruins" lyrics - MASTODON
The warning was imminent
From shattered clouds
Violent skies aligning
To take us down
The poison water will reip
All it wants
Wretchedness strench of dying
Dripping off the walls
The shelled house where you grew
Is now gone
What was here is filled with dread
Ever changing form
[Refrain:]
The wind she wore reared its head
The howling blow left us for dead
The last act of love we can give to those we hold
Where there's deepened grief there was great love
[Pre-Chorus:]
We don't get over this, can we grow around?
No distorted ego when we're given grace
[Chorus:]
Now we stand in the ruins
And the morning is cold
There's nobody home anymore
[Refrain:]
The wind she wore reared its head
The howling blow left us for dead
The passion and lusts we engaged
Once touched your soul
Now sadness crashes in relentless waves
[Pre-Chorus:]
We don't get over this, can we grow around?
No distorted ego when we're given grace
[Chorus:]
Now we stand in the ruins
And the morning is cold
There's nobody home anymore
And now we stand in the ruins
And morning is cold
There's nobody home anymore
