Ritual Lyrics

We run into a blazing fire
We hold our heads up high tonight
And we breathe the smoke, the fear we owe
We let our hearts subside tonight

But in my scarred skin cause I know I've sinned
And it plagues the air on my house Ruben
There's a sound I hear in the darkest woods
And I know my own fears are understood

It's a ritual, I know you feel it
It's a ritual, I know you've seen it
It's a ritual, I know you feel it
You feel it, you feel it, you feel it

Into the death and shoots as far
Too late to be rescued from high
You see it's a thought those guys was he
Our faith, you hear our cries, it goes

And it won't stop here, echo in my ear
There's a raging fire and it burns so near
But I'm ready now, but I'm ready now

It's a ritual, I know you feel it
It's a ritual, I know you've seen it
It's a ritual, I know you feel it
You feel it, you feel it, you feel it

It's a ritual, I know you feel it
It's a ritual, I know you've seen it
It's a ritual, I know you feel it
You feel it, you feel it, you feel it

The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all

It's a ritual, I know you feel it
It's a ritual, I know you've seen it
It's a ritual, I know you feel it
You feel it, you feel it, you feel it

The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all

The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all
The ritual, we lose it all

Cover art for Ritual lyrics by Ellie Goulding

This song used to creep me out with its meaning but I found out that ellie goulding is jewish so when she says "in my house Ruben theres a sound of him in the darkest words" I think she's meaning Reuben which was one of joseph's twelve sons who (though he did many great things) did have an affair. I think this entire song is about an affair because she says she knows she's sinned, etc. This is a great song though I absolutely adore it

My Interpretation

no, she's not jewish...

no, she's not jewish...
