Lyrics
"Rise From the Ruins" is a dark symphonic metal concept album by Thomas J. Allen, blending thunderous instrumentation with a prophetic narrative inspired by Holy Scripture. Each track is a chapter in a larger story — a descent into chaos, divine judgment, and ultimate redemption. Rooted in the Word of God, the album takes listeners from the rebellion of the heavenly host to the final promise of eternal peace.
