RUINS
Have you ever seen a life
Fade out and die
To have someone that you need
Be torn from your side
It’s the thought that haunts your dreams
Sends chills down your spine
As it crawls beneath the skin
And eats you alive
Tell me what’s the use of love
When we must say goodbye
All the heartache that it brings
A wrong state of mind
When that old familiar stain
Comes back again
And it feels like coming home
It feels like I’m there
Have you ever felt so cold?
Like a dark endless night
Never knowing where to go
Just clouds in your mind
And I cannot face it all
Every rise and every fall
‘Cause this live has taken everything
And I’m praying for the day
I can turn around and say
That this live has given everything
In my darkest hour I stumble through
No one in this world means more than you

SECRET
Roaming like a shark
Hiding in the dark
Keeping my secret
What do they know
Did I let it show
Hiding my secret
It knows my name
It’s tearing me apart
Day after day
Keeping my secret
I’ve known it from the start
Can’t open up my heart
Hiding my secret
It knows my name
And it’s getting harder to breathe
Looks like the game is over
And I raise my hands up

HELPLESS
What can I do?
Because I don’t have a clue
Of what’s going on
The damage I’ve done
So careless and free
I once used to be
Now the tables have turned
A lesson’s been learned
Still I move on
Like nothing is wrong
I’ve lost my way
How can it be?
That just can’t see
The road ahead
So what can I do?

LINE IN THE SAND
Cities they burn
Our world is on fire
Flames rising high to the sky
Like animals we run
We run from our homes
There’s no place for us in this war
And who’s to decide?
Who lives and who dies
And who draws the line in the sand?
So many lives torn apart
So many minds broken and scarred
For ever crying in their hearts
So many lives crossed the line
So many names forever lost in time
When will it ever be enough

CRUEL WORLD
How did we let it get so far?
Have we forgotten who we are?
All this madness and all this pain
So little innocence remains
So so long
My cruel world she bleeds
My worlds been brought down to her knees
Are we all too blind to see?
Life’s a strange reality
So so long my cruel world
Are we all too blind to see?
What our world has come to be
Oceans red forests in flames
And there’s no one left for us to blame
So long my cruel world

THE LIE
I’ve put on my happy face
And I walk down the street
Smiling at anyone that I meet
No truth in the words I speak
But I speak them out loud
With every lie I tell myself I die
And all I ever wanted to be
Is free from the fear
That’s nestled inside of me
And all I ever wanted to be is me

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun
supported by 12 fans who also own “Ruins”
Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10.
