Skyclad - Building A Ruin Lyrics
My life is a sentence that carries no pardon,I can't put you out of my misery now.So stunned by the beauty of this madhouse garden -I've taken my chances (then lost them somehow).This body's a temple - a shoddy construction,I'm digging my grave - while boring the well,I'm paving a path to my own self destruction,I won't be content 'til I see me in Hell.No I won't be content 'til I see me in Hell.I've looked back on my time - the names and the faces,A child long ago that I nearly fogot,And felt like someone who'd just step on the placewhere teh last stair should have benn - (then found it was not).Life's just a process of delamination,Stripping your hopes- dissecting them gently.I've opened my heart - and to my consternationwhen I peered inside it was small, dark and empty.Chorus:My friends turn to me - wonder what I am doing,drinking and smoking like somebody died.I said "Leave me alone I'm just building a ruin,The spirits have sunken - so the wreckage must rise."I'm building aruin - I ruin a building,My bridges are burned up - my tunnels are filled in.It's all a game I believe - the longer you play it the harder it gets.The most I can hope to achieve now's my breakfast,a priest with a blindfold an last cigarette...Chorus:My friends turn to me - wonder what I am doing,drinking and smoking like somebody died.I said "Leave me alone I'm just building a ruin,The spirits have sunken - so the wreckage must rise."I won't be content 'til I see me in Hell.
