RUINED RUINS
The impact
Of every step
Brought each soul
To instant regret
...you ruined everything
Movement alone
Drew energy around
Negative and positive
Running up and down
...ruining everything
Your sweet presence
Wafting on waves
Breaking open the earth
Emptying graves
...leaving ruins
The old illusion is gone....
New life springs forth
Melodies lining the air
Remnants lie bare
The simulation that dared
....to ruin everything
Hope bursts open
In the moment of release
Catching away
All sickness and disease
...ruining everything
LOVE walking with man
Unity of faith and trust
Expanding to worlds unknown
Diving deep within the crust
...leaving only ruins
Of the old illusion forsaken
