there's a treason of the heart
and a war of the mind
idols of power
bring the truth to trial
treasure the dreams
that the world can devour
like a shadow standing at the darkest hour
a shadow standing at the darkest hour
but look at us now
we're the architects of ruin
so painted and proud
we'll steal the light before it fades away
look at us now
we're the architects of ruin
so painted and proud
we'll steal the night but still it fades away
see the world framed in fear and desire
idols of power
carve the flesh to fire
the soul is a flower for the spirit's thorns
empires scatter and the feathers fall
empires scatter and the feathers fall
but look at us now
we're the architects of ruin
so painted and proud
we'll steal the light before it fades away
look at us now
we're the architects of ruin
so painted and proud
we'll steal the night but still it fades away
I'll make a blessing
of my doubts and trials
and I'll make a sacrifice
for the lie!
