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:
