QUARANTINED
Music and lyrics by C. Michael Hall
Performed by Amid the Ruins
The virus comes
Dispassionate
No cure in sight, the end is here
The rich retreat
The poor die first
We huddle in our caves in fear
(chorus)
A normal life denied
Quarantined inside
Your home becomes your tomb
Embrace impending doom
This faceless death
Cold creeping fate
Denied by fools and left to spread
We count the dead
And dig mass graves
Then face the end consumed with dread
(chorus repeats)
The air outside bleeds poisonous death
The touch of a hand spells the end
The end of love, the loneliest death
To never again hold a friend
Infected world
This doomed hellscape
No question “if,” it’s simply “when”
Those who yet live
Envy the dead
At least for them the nightmares end
(chorus repeats)

FUCK CANCER
Music and lyrics by C. Michael Hall
Performed by Amid the Ruins
Dark thing that grows within you
The silent death, unseen
Cruel thing that soon devours you
Unfair, unclean
This poison’s meant to cure you
You’re getting well, we swear
This treatment just might kill you
Fuck cancer, it’s not fair
No-one deserves this
Don’t want to say goodbye
No-one deserves this
There is no reason why
No-one deserves this
This is no way to die
No-one deserves this
Fuck cancer

FURTHER DOWN THE SPIRAL
Music and lyrics by C. Michael Hall
Performed by Amid the Ruins
Insane, a sentence given for life
This pain, the scars of violence and strife
(chorus)
My head turns against me
Betrayed by my own mind
Twisted by inward cruelty
Unstable, misaligned
Meltdown, the medication has failed
Breakdown, by my demons assailed
(chorus repeats)
Further down the spiral (3x)
(chorus repeats)

ONE EIGHT SEVEN
Music and lyrics by C. Michael Hall
Performed by Amid the Ruins
Shots fired, man down
A life bleeds into the street
Cold steel, knife’s edge
The final price for deceit
Consumed with rage
One second’s all that it takes
Blood on your hands
Too late your conscience awakes
There’s no turning back
No undoing this
Are you a maniac?
No undoing this
Death changes everything
No undoing this
One eight seven (2x)
Your judgment is at hand (4x)
