We Are Not Afraid of Ruins Lyrics


We are not afraid of ruins

Not afraid of ruins

Blast and burn your world

Then leave the stage

We are not afraid of ruins

Not afraid of ruins

We who ploughed the prairies

Shall plant again

Farmstead cinders and blackened soil

The slag of toppled homeland

Clouds of choking urban ash

The dust of all we knew

But we are not afraid of ruins

To make anew, the old must pass

We are not afraid of ruins

To birth a world, the first must die

From the smoke of failed states

We will rise and build again

Annihilation is not a threat

But a chance to bury and soon forget

The tyranny of hierarchy

Anarchy from debris

We are not afraid of ruins

Not afraid of ruins

Blast and burn your world

Then leave the stage

We are not afraid of ruins

Not afraid of ruins

We who ploughed the prairies

Shall plant again
