Ruin
Brand Of Sacrifice Feat. Tyler Shelton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Red skies form a memory of your screeching agony
Do not look into your fragile mind
It will not deliver you in this collapsing time
(In this collapsing time)
Mental pictures of the one you put your trust in
Left with only death and destruction
(Destruction)
They're primitive beings
Repugnant fiends
Their eyes can tear down worlds
A perverse view of beauty
So many prayers never answered
'Cause death is everywhere
Take a look inside but don't be ignorant about what you find
Suffocate, you can't catch your breath
Panicking, grasping at your chest
Afraid of everything that is near
In this new world, there's nothing for you here
There's nothing for you here
(There's nothing for you here)
Ruin, ruination
Ruin, ruination
The greatest misfortune of all
Was losing your soul to the white hawk
But you will overcome
I refuse to admit that you are gone
I will venture far and wide
To restore the woman inside
And whatever this world brings me
My blade will cut through everything
And I will not hesitate
Exterminate, eradicate
Exterminate, eradicate
You will feel the cold steel puncture your skin
This is the last night that you'll be living
Eradicate the filth
There is no mercy
This beautiful world is a facade
Ruin, ruination
There is nothing left for us
Ruin, ruination
Covered in the blood of innocence
We are not the only ones who've suffered
Ruin, ruination
We are not the only ones
The lyrics of Brand of Sacrifice Feat. Tyler Shelton's song Ruin depict a post-apocalyptic world where the singer is struggling to survive. The song starts with a warning not to look into your dreams or fragile mind, as they will only remind you of the past and won't help you in the present. The lyrics also mention mental pictures of someone the singer trusted, who left them with only death and destruction. The bridge of the song talks about the primitive and repugnant creatures of this new world, who have a perverse view of beauty and can tear down worlds with their eyes. The song then goes on to describe the singer's suffocation and fear in this new world, where there's nothing left for them.
The chorus of the song chants the word "ruin" repeatedly, implying that everything around the singer is in ruins. The lyrics also talk about the greatest misfortune of losing one's soul to the white hawk, an allusion to the bird of death in many cultures. However, the singer refuses to admit defeat and promises to restore the woman inside themselves, no matter what the world brings them. The song ends with the singer vowing to exterminate and eradicate the filth of this new world, even if it means using cold steel to do so.
Overall, the song is a powerful commentary on the struggles of surviving in a post-apocalyptic world, where one has to fight to protect oneself and restore humanity.

Covered in the blood of innocence
Innocent people have died as a result of the war
We are not the only ones who've suffered
Others have suffered just as we have
