lirik lagu skyclad - building a ruin
my life is a sentence that carries no pardon,
i can’t put you out of my misery now,
so stunned by 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 h-ll.
no i won’t be content ’til i see me in h-ll.
i’ve looked back on my time – the names and the faces,
a child long ago that i nearly forgot,
and felt like someone who’d just stepped on the place
where the last stair should have been – (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 consternation
when 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 are sunken – so the wreckage must rise.”
i’m building a ruin – i ruin a building,
my bridges are burned out – 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 and last cigarette…
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 are sunken – so the wreckage must rise.”
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 are sunken – so the wreckage must rise.”
i won’t be content ’til i see me in h-ll.
