The Ruins Of My Life (Album) - Sonata Arctica

Lyrics by：Tony Kakko

Composed by：Tony Kakko

Produced by：Sonata Arctica

The land was then young I was fighting for it like everyone

Ready to die for the 'cause for my king for my Lord

You were my reason to live to fight another day

You were the only for me

And you were only for me

Another year I would be gone

The war was leading us so far apart

I built a house to keep you there

Waiting for me waiting

No one remembers my face or my name

In a dream I'd stay here forever

Headstone on my grave words carved in vain

All these wounds only heal when I'm home

The taste of their blood in my mouth

And the scent of victory

Scarred my soul for life

This man was not me

Love is a game for the weak to play they said

I loved and love made me many times stronger

Another year I would be gone

The war was leading us so far apart

I built a house to keep you there

Waiting for me waiting

No one remembers my face or my name

In a dream I'd stay here forever

Headstone on my grave words carved in vain

All these wounds only heal when I'm home

Everything ends everything dies

Now I know the legends only lived in his lies

My long and winding road

River and trees by the hills we lived on

The ruins of my life I find

A signetring on the ashes

I know my Lord betrayed me

My reason to live was taken away

I carry my loved one to the hills we loved

For the last time

I close your eyes kiss you goodbye

The only one who ever loved me

I'm crushed inside darling my life

It shall end here

Headstone on your grave words carved in vain

Now the darkness covers me
