[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
One promise dishonest
And everything will change
[Chorus]
I rule the ruins with passion and pain
I rule the ruins
Sinner or saint
Fortune or fate
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge]
There's a tattooed symbol underneath my sleeve
Iron glove over a hand of steel
I rule the ruins
I rule the ruins
[Outro]
I rule the ruins with passion and pain
I rule the ruins
Sinner and saint
I rule the ruins
I rule the ruins
I rule the ruins
I rule the ruins
I rule the ruins
I rule the ruins
I rule the ruins
