[Verse 1]
They walked this withered wasteland
The taste of ash in every breath
A violent past forsaken
The creeds did breed contempt

[Verse 2]
Seeking grace and beauty in the wreckage
Pure wisdom hides away in the decay
The shadowed truth foretold the message
The darkest heart can lead the right way

[Pre-Chorus]
Here in ruins life still grows
Here in ruins, a blooming rose
Here in ruins, love remains
We will rise again

[Chorus]
So don't let your downfall be destiny
Don’t blame the stars
So don't let your downfall be destiny
The moment is ours

[Verse 3]
All monuments now remnants
The grandiose reduced to dust
Those sacred names abolished
This future we must trust
[Verse 4]
It is our duty to replenish
Envisage life eclipsing death and fate
From sallow youth to the decrepit
The tarnished start to reason faith

[Chorus]
So don't let your downfall be destiny
Don’t blame the stars
So don't let your downfall be destiny
The moment is ours

[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus]
Here in ruins, life still grows
Here in ruins, a blooming rose
Here in ruins, love remains
We will rise again

[Bridge]
Hope is here, so near
Hope is here, a new life
Hope is here, so near
Hope is here, a new life
[Chorus]
So don't let your downfall be destiny
Don't blame the stars
So don't let your downfall be destiny
The moment is ours
