lyrics

When the world goes by
And time ain’t on your side
And love has broken your pride
You just can’t fake it
You pay the devil his due
But save a little for you
‘Cause that’s the only way you’ll make it

Love among the ruins
Sometimes it’s hard to find
In the rubble, in the ruins
Lies the love you left behind
While you’re dueling with your demon
You hope and pray to God
That when the walls come down you’re far from town
Beyond the great façade

It’s built with bricks so high
So thick, right to the sky
And even if you could fly
You can’t clear it
It has to crumble and fall
Mortar, brick and all
While you stand enthralled
And cheer it

Blinded by your vision
Like you saw the face of God
You look for love among the ruins
Of the great façade
Love among the ruins
When the walls come tumbling down
Love among the ruins
When all is lost, will it be found?

Blinded by our vision
Like we saw the face of God
We look for love among the ruins
Of the great façade
Love among the ruins
Love amidst the dust
Love among the ruins
Will it be too late for us?

We watch the world fly by
No time to laugh or cry
Just break our backs and die
So hard to take it
We’ll pay the devil his due
Save some for me and you
That’s the only way we’ll make it
