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.

[Chorus:]

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


Repeat
