there's a treason of the heart and a war of the mind idols of power bring the truth to trial treasure the dreams that the world can devour like a shadow standing at the darkest hour a shadow standing at the darkest hour but look at us now we're the architects of ruin so painted and proud we'll steal the light before it fades away look at us now we're the architects of ruin so painted and proud we'll steal the night but still it fades away see the world framed in fear and desire idols of power carve the flesh to fire the soul is a flower for the spirit's thorns empires scatter and the feathers fall empires scatter and the feathers fall but look at us now we're the architects of ruin so painted and proud we'll steal the light before it fades away look at us now we're the architects of ruin so painted and proud we'll steal the night but still it fades away I'll make a blessing of my doubts and trials and I'll make a sacrifice for the lie!
