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 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 Place
Where 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 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 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.
