Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Up from these ruins we'll rise
To conquer this world once again
Out of the dark, underground
We'll break free from these chains we are in
You never thought we'd be back from the dead
You'll know it's true when we kick in your door
You'll know it's real when your head hits the floor
No mercy this night
We're out to destroy
From the ruins we rise
Fear takes control in a feeding frenzy
As chaos and panic sets in
Showing no mercy to all in our path
Unstoppable killing machines
You never thought we'd be back from the dead...
No mercy this night...
[Repeat 2x]
[Guitar lead]
Not forgiven and you'll never be forgotten
Can't forgive and then we won't forget
Can't believe we couldn't see it in your eyes
Can't believe we couldn't see through your lies
Here on this night we gather to fight
For venegence we fight
Waited so long now our time is in sight
Revenge is in sight
You're hanging on in the eye of the storm
Only a matter of time till you fall
[Guitar lead]
Not forgiven and you'll never be forgotten...
[Repeat 2x]
No use seeking refuge
Coz there's none here to be found
Showing no mercy to all in our path
No mercy this night
Up from these ruins we'll rise
To conquer this world once again
Out of the dark, underground
These chains can't keep us in
You'll know it's true when we kick in your door
You'll know it's real when you're head hits the floor
The lyrics of Dreamsfear's song "Ruins" depict a story of a group of individuals rising from the dead to seek revenge and conquer the world once again. The lyrics suggest that this group had been put to rest, dead and buried by their enemies, but have now risen again to exact their revenge on those who thought they were eliminated. The lyrics also speak of breaking free from chains and darkness, indicating that the group had been imprisoned or suppressed in some way.
The lyrics of "Ruins" also intensify with a tone of fear and anxiety as the song progresses. The lyrics suggest that the group is ruthless and will stop at nothing to achieve their mission of destruction. They are depicted as unstoppable killing machines, and the chorus repeatedly asserts their intention of showing "no mercy this night," driving in the message of their relentless and brutal nature.
Towards the end of the song, the lyrics suggest that the group is on a mission of vengeance to avenge themselves against those who wronged them. It is evident that the group has been waiting for this moment, and their time for revenge is now at hand. The song ends with the lyrics once again reiterating the group's objective of conquering the world and a sense of determination mixed with a hint of threat, as they are waiting for their enemies' downfall.

I remember, I had the opportunity to listen to this legendary album, which came into my hands by chance in the 2000s, and I still listen to it from time to time. Thanks DF 🤘🏻MetalForever

Maureen Lycaon
Sadly, these guys seem to have vanished since MP3.com went down. Too bad -- they were superb.

Great band alright. Cathal has been involved in numerous other projects since which you might be into checking out . Parhelia (Post-Rock) Wreck Of The Hesperus (Doom) Wereju (Ambient/Drone) . Not sure what the others are doing, the old Drummer had a black metal band called Sol Axis who are worth checking out.
