There's a tattooed

symbol underneath my sleeve

An iron glove over a hand of steel

You can't touch me

Don't touch me



All for one and one for me

Listen well and

I'll set you free

You can trust me

For eternity



No promise

Is honest

In a world of change



I rule the ruins

with passion and pain

I rule the ruins

Sinner or saint

Fortune or fate



Alive and well

in this livin' hell

I survived it all,

now it's time to tell

Can you hear me

Do you hear me



Once a tattered soul

on bended knees

With one hand to God,

I felt the devil's breeze

I begged help me

Won't you rescue me



One promise dishonest

And everything will change



CHORUS



There's a tattooed symbol

underneath my sleeve

Iron glove over a hand of steel

I rule the ruins

I rule the ruins



I rule the ruins

With passion and pain

I rule the ruins

Sinner and saint

I rule the ruins
