Ruinthrone - For Those Who Remain lyrics

Artist: Ruinthrone

album: The Unconscious Mind of Arda


Sometimes the world asks for a sacrifice
(There are times)
A desperate effort at one time
(To preserve what we have)
But real strength lies
(And leave it)
In the hands of those who remain
In this damn wet night I cannot sleep
It's not about rain or growling clouds
When I gave the goodnight kiss to all my kids
I felt my heart shrinking
The scars of the past
Of the past
Of the past
There are situations where the price to pay is too high
No matter what the reward is, no matter the purpose
Can't avoid asking himself
What's this all for?
With nothing but wastelands around
What's this all for?
No, no regrets
What is done, is done
No, no regrets
Despite the nightmares
No, no regrets
I will take part in what's to come
I will take part in what's to come
To fill the void others have left
Reconstruction needs much more heroes than wars
And we simply cannot step back
Sometimes the world asks for a sacrifice
(There are times)
A desperate effort at one time
(To preserve what we have)
But real strength lies
(And leave it)
In the hands of those who remain
Should we move on? Forget?
Or commemorate?
Back in the days the Shire didn't know
The existence of words such as war and despair
But no more invisible walls
We are one with the world
I keep asking myself: is this evolution?
For centuries we have
Lived as nothing existed outside the old woods
And now I see how gazes have changed
For a long year I was forced to stay away
From my lands and people
I was just a witness, powerless and small
I'm not talking about the ring
But misery and fear
(Misery and fear)
Back in the days the Shire didn't know
(Misery and fear)
How dense the blood is, how cold the chains are
(Misery and fear)
How wounded screams, how fires can light up
(Misery and fear)
The darkness of night turning traditions to ash
Sometimes I wish I was the one who carried the Ring
Whose struggles ended on Mount Doom
I have one weapon on my side: time!
Sometimes the world asks for a sacrifice
(There are times)
A desperate effort at one time
(To preserve what we have)
But real strength lies
(And leave it)
In the hands of those who remain
I hope I can pass them on
Before they fade away
