There's a tattooed symbol underneath my sleeve 
An iron glove over a hand of steel 
You can't touch me 
Don't touch me 
 
All for one and one for me 
Listen well and I'll set you free 
You can trust me 
For eternity 
 
No promise 
Is honest 
In a world of change 
 
I rule the ruins with passion and pain 
I rule the ruins 
Sinner or saint 
Fortune or fate 
 
Alive and well in this livin' hell 
I survived it all, now it's time to tell 
Can you hear me 
Do you hear me 
 
Once a tattered soul on bended knees 
With one hand to God, I felt the devil's breeze 
I begged help me 
Won't you rescue me 
 
One promise dishonest 
And everything will change 
 
[CHORUS] 
 
There's a tattooed symbol underneath my sleeve 
Iron glove over a hand of steel 
I rule the ruins 
I rule the ruins 
 
I rule the ruins 
With passion and pain 
I rule the ruins 
Sinner and saint 
I rule the ruins 
 
[REPEAT & FADE]
