[English]

Demon man with your hell on my neck

Preachin' to me I'm not worthy of amnesty

You're no testimony to my final fate

Unlike you I'm not drunk on my reverie

I will build a kingdom from my remnants

I will build a kingdom from my remnants

I'm nobody's leftovers

You will not use me up

Done drained my blood bone dry

Still will not use me up

My flesh to ashes burned

Take to the wind like dust

When will you ever learn

You will not use me up

And I will build a kingdom from my remnants, from my remnants

See it now sure as the sun will rise

I won't hide my eyes from its majesty

With my war worn heart

With my battered hands

From a single thread I'll weave my tapestry

And I know the love will resurrect me

Oh I will build a kingdom from my remnants

I will build a kingdom from my remnants

I'm nobody's leftovers

You will not use me up

Done drained my blood bone dry

Still will not use me up

My flesh to ashes burned

Take to the wind like dust

When will you ever learn

You will not use me up

And I will build a kingdom from my remnants

And I will build a kingdom from my remnants
