[Verse 1]
The warning was imminent
From shattered clouds
Violent skies aligning
To take us down

[Verse 2]
The poison water will reip
All it wants
Wretchedness strench of dying
Dripping off the walls
[Verse 3]
The shelled house where you grew
Is now gone
What was here is filled with dread
Ever changing form

[Refrain]
The wind she wore reared its head
The howling blow left us for dead

[Verse 4]
The last act of love we can give to those we hold
Where there’s deepened grief there was great love

[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t get over this, can we grow around?
No distorted ego when we’re given grace

[Chorus]
Now we stand in the ruins
And the morning is cold
There’s nobody home anymore

[Refrain]
The wind she wore reared its head

The howling blow left us for dead

[Verse 5]
The passion and lusts we engaged
Once touched your soul
Now sadness crashes in relentless waves

[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t get over this, can we grow around?
No distorted ego when we’re given grace

[Chorus]
Now we stand in the ruins
And the morning is cold
There’s nobody home anymore
And now we stand in the ruins
And morning is cold
There’s nobody home anymore
