Alius Vita - The World Of Ruin Lyrics

Would it were
Simple as
Some madman
With a plot
But he was
Aided by
Neighbors and
Once close friends
Fought for her
All that jazz
Worth a damn?
Not a jot
Hear that buzz
Flying by
O'er the land
Now it ends

Here's our punishment
No escape
Islands caving in
Now it's too late
Here's our banishment
To the rock
There's no saving it
Ran out the clock

In the
World of ruin
There is
Little hope
Only darkness
Only despair
Only decay
And this gloom
In the
World of ruin
Can we
Learn to cope
Is this madness
Beyond repair
Is there some way
To beat doom

He had conspirators
They were your
Countrymen
They chose to
Damn us all
Now we are
Refugees
There's no dawn
Just closed doors
So much more
Forbidden
Just for you
Here's your wall
No more stars
No more trees

Hear him laugh with hate
Clown made king
Sending down his beams
Havoc wreaking
Now you see our fate
Are you proud
He is what he seems
Blaring and loud

In the
World of ruin
There is
Little hope
Only darkness
Only despair
Only decay
And this gloom
In the
World of ruin
Can we
Learn to cope
Is this madness
Beyond repair
Is there some way
To beat doom

Is that light
Piercing the skies
To fix this
Situation
No, it's blight
Driven by lies
To end this
Troubled nation

There is no return
To the past
If we're to live on
If we're to last
We must bear this burn
Scavenge, stitch
Though our woods are gone
Reduced to pitch

In the
World of ruin
There is
Little hope
Only darkness
Only despair
Only decay
And this gloom
In the
World of ruin
Can we
Learn to cope
Is this madness
Beyond repair
Is there some way
To beat doom

In the
World of ruin
We are
Bound to die
We are weakened
We are sentenced
We are condemned
We have failed

In the
World of ruin
We still
Have to try
Though there's bleakness
Though there's penance
Though it's the end
Though he's hailed
