[Soft, heavy breathing over low atmospheric synth pads]
Verse 1
It rolls over the mountains without any noise Stealing the sunlight, taking the toys A violet fog settling down on the street Where the righteous and wicked are destined to meet You don’t feel the sting until breath turns to frost You don’t realize everything you have lost
Pre-Chorus
Breathe it in… slow and deep… Let the mist put your senses to sleep.
Chorus
Mist of Ruination Blanketing the town Mist of Ruination Bringing empires down No swords, no fire, no thunderous sound Just the quiet decay on the holy ground Mist of Ruination… Dissolve into me.
Verse 2
The guards at the gate dropped their shields to the dirt Confused by a shadow that didn’t seem to hurt They smiled as their memories dissolved in the haze Forgetting their kingdom, forgetting their days I walk through the fog like a phantom in grace As the world melts away without leaving a trace
Chorus
Mist of Ruination Blanketing the town Mist of Ruination Bringing empires down No swords, no fire, no thunderous sound Just the quiet decay on the holy ground Mist of Ruination… Dissolve into me.
Bridge
[Pulls string theory ambiance, sweeping ethereal chimes] The fall starts feeling like flying… And surrender becomes a gift you give yourself.
Final Chorus
Mist of Ruination! The horizon is gone! Mist of Ruination! The dark age has won! I am the fog and the fog is my throne Ruling a world that was quietly blown Mist of Ruination… Breathe me in.
