Lyrics

[Verse] The streets are hollow the air feels dead Broken bottles where dreams once bled A shadow walks but ain't no one there Just the echo of pain in the heavy air [Chorus] Oh this lost generation Falling through time's cruel rotation No hope no home just devastation We’re the ghosts of a broken nation [Verse 2] Kids play games with empty cans Mothers cry with trembling hands Fathers gone to fields of despair This world don't fight it just don't care [Prechorus] And the wind it howls Through the cracks in my soul [Chorus] Oh this lost generation Falling through time's cruel rotation No hope no home just devastation We’re the ghosts of a broken nation [Bridge] Wandering streets where dreams went blind Every face a mirror of the grind Loneliness howls like a wolf in the night No stars above just a dim streetlight

Lost in the Ruins
