A sanctuary, in its original meaning, is a sacred place, such as a shrine. By the use of such places as a safe haven, by extension the term has come to be used for any place of safety. This secondary use can be categorized into human sanctuary, a safe place for humans, such as a political sanctuary; and non-human sanctuary, such as an animal or plant sanctuary.
A religious sanctuary can be a sacred place (such as a church, temple, or mosque), or a consecrated area of a church or temple around its tabernacle or altar.
In Europe, Christian churches were sometimes built on land considered as a particularly 'holy spot', perhaps where a miracle or martyrdom had allegedly taken place or where a holy person was buried. Examples are St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and St. Albans Cathedral in England, which commemorate the martyrdom of Saint Peter (the first Pope) and Saint Alban (the first Christian martyr in Britain), respectively. The place, and therefore the church built there, was considered to have been sanctified (made holy) by what happened there. In modern times, the Roman Catholic Church has continued this practice by placing in the altar of each church, when it is consecrated for use, a box (the sepulcrum) containing relics of a saint. The relics box is removed when the church is taken out of use as a church. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, the antimension on the altar serves a similar function. It is a cloth icon of Christ's body taken down from the cross, and typically has the relics of a saint sewn into it. In addition, it is signed by the parish's bishop, and represents his authorization and blessing for the Eucharist to be celebrated on that altar.

Born in San Antonio, Texas, Dixon sang and played his first song at the age of five. As a youngster he moved to Chicago, where he was discovered by James Cleveland, one of the first artists to sing and record Jessy Dixon's compositions, "God Can Do Anything But Fail," and "My God Can Make A Way." The organizers of the Newport Jazz Festival invited him to perform his new song, "The Wicked Shall Cease Their Troubling," at New York's Radio City Music Hall in 1972. After the performance, Dixon and The Jessy Dixon Singers were requested to do four encores. Paul Simon (of Simon & Garfunkel fame), was in the audience and invited Dixon to share the stage with him as lead vocalist on NBC-TV's Saturday Night Live.
I walk the twilight zone beyond the city lights
In search of peace of mind I stole into the night
Tried to hide away from everything that threatened
My existence I showed resistance
Up there big brother's got his tabs on where I go
They tried to force me down a road where I can go
So you imagine, how I left when you said
"Baby, I can understand" touched my hand
You are my sanctuary when I'm in your arms, you take me away
You are my sanctuary when I'm in despair
I reach out and you're always there, you're always there
Beyond the skyways through the lookin' glass I roam
Into the never, never I found a star that glowed
And I descended on my last true wing and prayer
And you were standing there, the one that cared
You are my sanctary when I'm in your arms, you take me away
You are my sanctary when I'm in despair
I reach out and you're always there, you're always there
When there's no escaping and I panic in the night
I can run to you for cover 'cause you'll always make it right
You are my sanctuary when I'm in your arms, you take me away
You are my sanctuary when I'm in despair
I reach out and you're always there, you're always there
break
You are my sanctuary when I'm in your arms you take me away
Dear uncle sold her into the purest kind of slavery.
Hood-eyed little middlemen profited from damaged goods
along the way.
Good angels brought her back to a last Nepal summer.
Debased, hollow-faced, a smile might become her.
Now she's cosied up, cosied up and comforted
in the warm flush of September.
Gone before winter.
Wondering as to might-have-beens.
Somebody's daughter in sanctuary, waiting.
Seen through softer cage of kindness, far and further still away,
from time-warp Victorian zoos
where staring ice cream gameboys play.
Big paws, worn claws and swishing tails.
More damaged goods in the market sales.
Too proud for anger, too late for hate: resigned in dignity.
Gone before winter.
Purring might-have-beens.
Somebody's kitten in sanctuary, waiting.
Somebody near you in sanctuary, waiting.
Your world full of creeps
Zombies walk the street
Nine to five, barely alive
Have a beer, go to sleep
And start all over again
Same gray suit, same round shoes
Same headache, same pills
He goes home, thinks about suicide
But he's got his diploma, got to give him that
I got a radical place
Got my own private space
It's my sanctuary
It's the castle of doom
I'm the king of my room
Just a Quasimodo
Let the world blow away
This is where I will stay
In my sanctuary
Got my mess on the floor
Got my lock on my door
Go away, sanctuary
Go away, sanctuary
Someday I gotta get outta here
Gotta put on a shirt, put on a tie
Get a job, buy a car, get some insurance
'Cause I'll probably have a heart attack before I'm forty
I guess I'll find the perfect wife
And I'll have 2.3 perfect kids
And if I work real hard, if I die real fast
They'll all turn out just like me
I got a radical place
Got my own private space
It's my sanctuary
It's the castle of doom
I'm the king of my room
Just a Quasimodo
Let the world blow away
This is where I will stay
In my sanctuary
Got my mess on the floor
Got my lock on my door
Go away, sanctuary
Go away, sanctuary
Go away, sanctuary
Go away, sanctuary
I got a radical place
Got my own private space
It's my sanctuary
It's the castle of doom
I'm the king of my room
Just a Quasimodo
Let the world blow away
This is where I will stay
In my sanctuary
Got my mess on the floor
Got my lock on my door
Go away, sanctuary
Go away, sanctuary
Go away, sanctuary
Surely whoever speaks to me in the right voice
Him or her I shall follow
Who needs the sun, when the rain's so full of life
Who needs the sky
It's here in your arms I want to be buried
You are my sanctuary
Who needs the sun, when the rain's so full of life
Who needs the sky, when the ground's open wide
It's here in your arms I want to be buried
You are my sanctuary
Who needs a smile, when a tear's so full of love
Who needs a home, with the stars up above
It's here in your heart I want to be carried
You are my sanctuary
Who needs the light, with the darkness in your eyes
Who needs to sleep, with the stars in the sky
It's here in your soul I want to be married
You are my sanctuary
And the earth was void and empty
And darkness was upon the face of the earth
Is all of this pain so necessary
You are my sanctuary
Surely whoever speaks to me in the right voice
Him or her I shall follow
As the water follows the moon, silently
Who needs the sun (with fluid steps)
Who needs the sky (around the globe)
Who needs to sleep (I hear your voice)
You are (you are) my sanctuary
You are (you are, you are)
A slap in the face
It is endowed.
The light of my life
is put out somehow.
I'm lying in pieces of
emotions you control.
You're feeling my sympathy
the lie unfolds.
Feeling this hostility, I pray.
Begging, make this evil go away.
Conveying the things I only fear.
Building my sanctuary of blood and tears.
The lines that I traced
around the scars they swell.
In plain with a sedative
to numb this spell.
I'm lying in pieces of
emotions you control.
You're feeling my sympathy
the lie unfolds.
Feeling this hostility, I pray.
Begging, make this evil go away.
Conveying the things I only fear.
Building my sanctuary of blood and tears.
Feeling animosity
when no one else is around.
Blindly I scream into the air.
Eating my heart off the ground.
Feeling this hostility, I pray.
Begging, make this evil go away.
Conveying the things I only fear.
Sanctuary
[Harris, Di'Anno, Murray]
Out of winter came a warhorse of steel
I've never killed a woman before
But I know how it feels
I know you'd have gone insane
If you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for
Sanctuary from the law
I met up with a stranger last night
To keep me alive
He spends all his money on gambling
And guns to survive
I know you'd have gone insane
If you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for
Sanctuary from the law
So give me Sanctuary from the law
And I'll be alright
Just me Sanctuary from the law
And love me tonight ... tonight
I know you'd have gone insane
If you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for
Sanctuary from the law
So give me Sanctuary from the law
And I'll be alright
Just me Sanctuary from the law
And love me tonight ... tonight
I can laugh at the wind
I can howl at the rain
Down in the Canyon
Or out on the plain
I know you'd have gone insane
If you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for
Sanctuary from the law
So give me Sanctuary from the law
And I'll be alright
Just me Sanctuary from the law
This is for the one who saved me
accepts me for who i am, just me
and always gives back tenfold whatever i give
Respect was never ever questioned, every feeling reciprocated
mutual ideals and passion straight from the soul, from my soul
When i'm safely in your arms there i find my sanctuary
help me weather every storm, you're my sanctuary, my true love
There are those who tried to use you
even ones who would abuse you
they never took the time to see what i see
how you're always waiting for me kept me sane while all was crazy
and so i give you what's dearest to me
My true love the very first time you touched my soul
Wise men say these are the facts of life
What ya can't read, you gotta write
What you don't know can hurt you, welcome to the wasteland
Hail Mary, hear me now - I'm in need of Sanctuary
Yes, these are hard times to be livin' in
Out in the Wasteland where love's a give away
I fall on my face like a rebel in the dirt
Sanctuary, Give me some protection
Baby, Baby cover me
Feelin' lost and so afraid
Just tryin' to keep the handle on the blade
Been such a long time runnin'
Behind these walls inside of me
Ain't nothin' clear as far as I see
Looks like a storm cloud breakin'
Off in the distance, I hear a drivin' beat - a drivin' beat
The sun goes down like a rebel in the dirt
Sanctuary, Give me some protection
Baby, Baby cover me
Sanctuary, Give me some affection
by, Baby shelter me
Heartache gonna worry me down -- I don't like it
Show me mercy, peace of mind
Stand beside me in these troubled times
Give me a reason to believe in now
Love and affection, they seem so far away, so far away
All I can do just to make it through the night
Sanctuary, Give me some protection
Baby, Baby cover me
Sanctuary, Give me some affection
Baby, Baby shelter me
Sanctuary, Sanctuary
Sanctuary, Sanctuary

Do you think you can find
In other arms the peace of mind
If you do you're so mistaken
'Cause they're only taking love
You'd think pain was back in style
The way you force yourself to smile
But I know your heart is breaking
When it should be making love
If your love's been more like a revolving door
And you're feeling tired and weary
You'll find the love that you've been searching for
Here in the heart of my
Sanctuary
Sanctuary
Here in my heart
I feel your pain your despair
Sometimes it's more than I can bear
Just to know your heart is breaking
When it could be making love
If your love's been more like a revolving door
And you're feeling tired and weary
You'll find the love that you've been searching for
Here in the heart of my
Sanctuary
Sanctuary
Here in my heart
Sanctuary
Sanctuary
Just like the glorious northern star you guided me
Shining a light of pure tranquility
To a secret place where no-one else could go
Free to reveal the things I never show
Strong like a symphony
You protected me
From reality
Somewhere to love somewhere to breathe
Somewhere to call my sanctuary
Here in the dark I can be strong
Knowing that nothing can hurt from now on
Somewhere to love somewhere to breathe
Somewhere to call my sanctuary
Closer to the sun
To your heart I run
I was deserted like the moon is at the dawn
I never thought I'd ever find a place so beautiful
All my heart was falling like a stone
Deep into an ocean vast and colourful
Strong like a symphony
You protected me
From reality
Somewhere to love somewhere to breathe
Somewhere to call my sanctuary
Here in the dark I can be strong
Knowing that nothing can hurt from now on
Somewhere to love somewhere to breathe
Somewhere to call my sanctuary
Closer to the sun
To your heart I run
One step on the horizon
A safe place up on the mountain
After the party with wine in your hair
There's a shot in the dark
So you'll fall in despair
And you've chipped your tooth
So you whistle when you speak
And there's tunes in your head
Till the end of the week
The feast in your hair is up to a swing
But whoever you touch
You don't feel anything
So you brush off the cobwebs
That seal you up
To get past the part
With the crack in your cup
Farewell Saturday, love tomorrow
Always the next day
For to find sanctuary
For there's unkept promises
Crimes and jealousies
Always the next day
For to find sanctuary
Then a slice of the silence
Remains on the bed
As the hue of the sun
Whispers heat to the dead
And the glow won't wash off
When you're already gone
And you lock all the doors
Where the silence just shone
A sip of green poison that jades your blood
Till the blue of your veins
Turns as brown as the mud
The continental shift in your
Earthquake heart
It isn't a cure
But at least it's a start
Sanctuary
Sanctuary
Doubting my existence
Or more precisely the cause
What was the solid foundation
Upon where I built my life
How did it turn out to be an conviction
How come I can’t see behind the bars
Each door is sealed, every portal is fasten
By the demons of the dark
Once more I gather the bricks for the wall
And build a safe house
A home made of stone
A place to hide
A sanctuary sealed from the inside
I have longed the voice of silence
I have been cherishing the sound
Of the voice so profound and cold
Sit down, wait a minute
I thought we were special
This town, and everyone in it
Moves a little faster than the underground
No time, time is money,
Feeling like a piece of machinery
Let down, when I saw you tumble
Falling over pieces of me
I, I, I wanna be your sanctuary, set you free, set you free
Foot down, turn it around
Don't even know where I wanna go
No sound, and tunnel vision
All I need is you on my radio
No time, time is money
We've been through the traffic to cross the street
Blue skies, now you're talking
Gotta get the shoes off my feet
I wanna lead you and follow you
I wanna hold you and keep it true
So many things that I wanna do
With you
Last night under the light
I thought we were special
Your smile, dance for a while
I'm here to help you to keep it
Don't believe all that you see
'Cause it can never be
Truth could be there in disguise
So never trust your eyes
Wandering aimless through time
Wondering what I will find
So many years on my own
No place I can call home
A dome upon the hill - stare
What can that building be - sound
I hear a melody - look
That's my philosophy - wait
The truth is for the brave -
And it's like a tidal wave now
Entities all dressed in white
No end in sight
Some giants, some little ones
Where are they from
Packed inside this mega - dome
Why have they come
Where are all these giants from
Why have they come
My eyes are playing tricks on me
These things I really can't believe
They've got thhe heads of human men
And the bodies of machines
Who are these anroid masterminds
And what will all this mean for me
Possessing knoledge so incredible
I know They speak the truth indeed
Can this be a fantasy
Mirage of what I want to see
A sanctuary can it really be
Just follow me - I've got the key
So follow me - You will see
Just follow me - I've got the key - So follow me
You will see - So follow me - I've got the key
You will agree - I guarantee - Sanctuary
Just follow me - And you will find
Safe inside - Out of sight - And out of mind
Each of us cell inside
All satisfied
A body of perfection
And we are one
Entities dressed in white
No end in sight
The plase I long to be Sanctuary
The giants paid a high price
For their artificial life
They guard the truths of all mankind you see
So intellect can thrive
Condemned to be the slaves of time they are
They can never touch or feel
Things are never what they seem to be
dishonest
you came with your first kiss
blue eyes sold me your heavenly presence
something was suffocating me and i couldnæ° breathe
had no idea that you would ever deceive
i tried to believe all the things that you taught me
christlike images of truth
they straight got me
now watch me drown in sadness
my lungs gasp for air as i let you stab this heart
and rip apart wounds that exist
deeper and darker than any words i could spit
all is shit
and it will never be well
because the fires that burn are my never ending hell
is this what you call god?
your faith is lost
is this what you call god?
get off your cross
get off
bridges connect for necessity
lifelines scar my hands like the rest of me
asked me to trust you and yes i tried to
constant apologies caused me to lie too
tried to medicate my hate with your magic
how could something so sweet end up so tragic
resurrect me from this abyss
in death every body function fails to exist
false commitments
tongues twisted with religion
a heart shaped rock of the same size incision
obsolete
with no relief or release
just insomnia filled nights of never ending sleep
is this what you call god?
your faith is lost
is this what you call god?
get off your cross
split a piece of wood and i am there
lift a stone and you will find me
are you still scared?
sanctuary
sanctuary
sanctuary
thereæ¯ no sanctuary
is this what you call god?
is this what you call
is this
is this
is this what you call love?
get off
get off
watch me
get off
get off
watch me
get off
get off
now watch me fall
i swallowed all of your lies
and they felt good going down
Dear uncle, sold her into
Into the purest kind of slavery
Hood-eyed little middlemen profited
From damaged goods along the way
Good angels brought her back
To a last Nepal summer
Debased and hollow-faced
A smile might become her
Now, she's cozied up, cozied up
And comforted in the warm flush of September
Gone before winter, wondering as to might-have-beens
Somebody's daughter in sanctuary, waiting
Seen through softer cage of kindness
Far and further, still away
From time-warp Victorian zoos
Where staring ice cream gameboys play
Big paws, worn claws and swishing tails
More damaged goods in the market sales
Too proud for anger, too late for hate
Resigned in dignity
Gone before winter, purring might-have-beens
Somebody's kitten in sanctuary, waiting
Gone before winter, wondering as to might-have-beens
A row of love broke it seems
spillng all our precious dreams
among the jagged fragments
and all the space between
we stood in awe of this sacred scene.
Wondered what it all could mean.
We watched vague confusion
at the working of the great unseen.
To the timeless sound of shattering
we saw the fragments of our universe scattering.
Sounded like an angel singing somewhere.
Sounded like ann angel singing,
"Sanctuary, sanctuary.
Let me be your sanctuary.
Sanctuary, sanctuary.
Let me be your sanctuary.
When you cannot find the light
of your own shining star
I will (let me) help you to remember
who you truly are.
who you truly are.
Let me be your sancturay."
I broke down, lost myself.
In the end I can´t blame anybody else, no.
Visions called but I send them all away.
Looked in the water, what did I see?
Glimmers of my own mystery.
I tried to introduce myself
but I could not find the words to say.
As I gazed into his countenace
so amazed the wreckage so immense.
Sounded like an angel singing somewhere.
Sounded like ann angel singing,
"Sanctuary, sanctuary.
Let me be your sanctuary.
Sanctuary, sanctuary.
Let me be your sanctuary.
When you cannot find the light
of your own shining star
I will (let me) help you to remember
who you truly are.
who you truly are.
It's been way too long since I spoke my confession
My heart has a burden I hope you will listen
Oh you're my sanctuary
Despite the road we've chosen to the wilderness I roamed
But there I found no shelter like a prodigal son I've come back home
To my sanctuary
Well I believe you're the faith when there's a shadow of doubt
You're the prayer that mother's whisper each night for their sons everywhere
And your love is the gift that you give when you let me in
You're my sanctuary
I'm standin' out here knockin' knockin' at your door
I miss our sweet communion loves mercy's brought me back for more
Oh you're such a mystery how you make my spirit soar you're my sanctuary
Well I believe you're the faith...

How I want you, how I want your loving girl
How I want your pretty smile
Through the winter nights, and the long long summer days
I drift and dream of you all the while.
And if you ever find yourself so lonely
And if you're at the end of the line,
You can find my sanctuary waiting,
Don't worry girl I won't let on.
How I want you, how I want your loving girl.
Your sentimental sighs and stares,
You can be like day, you can drive me crazy
I'm walking and a think away.
And if you ever find yourself so lonely
And if you're at the end of the line,
You can find my sanctuary waiting,
Don't worry girl I won't let on - ooh.
Ooh and if you ever find yourself so lonely
And if you're at the end of the line,
You can find my sanctuary waiting,
Don't worry girl I won't let on.
Don't worry girl I won't let on.
No I won't let on, just take my sanctuary
No I won't let on, just take my sanctuary...
I just want to give you shelter,
It's safe to close your eyes.
I'm not going to sugar coat it,
This is a hard life.
And every time I see you,
by accident or design,
There's something beneath the surface
(In between the lines).
I want you to talk to me,
But I don't say it.
You don't have to run.
Lay your defenses down,
You've been running like a refugee.
Lay your defenses down
And I'll be your sanctuary.
Whoa oh, oh yeah
And I'll be your sanctuary.
When you get tired of fighting
And you've had enough.
When you're walking wounded
And it's too much.
You can take off your armour,
You can lay down your shield.
I just want to hold the world back
Give you time to heal.
I want you to talk to me,
But I don't say it.
You don't have to run away.
Lay your defenses down,
You've been running like a refugee.
Lay your defenses down
And I'll be your sanctuary.
Whoa oh, oh yeah
And I'll be your sanctuary.
Whoa oh, oh yeah
And I'll be your sanctuary.
Close your eyes, it's a hard life.
I could make you a promise,
But time will make it clear.
After the dust has settled,
I'll still be right here.
You need to let me in.
So lay your defenses down,
You've been running like a refugee.
Lay your defenses down
And I'll be your sanctuary.
Whoa oh, oh yeah
And I'll be your sanctuary.
Whoa oh, oh yeah
And I'll be your sanctuary.
Whoa oh, oh yeah
I'll be your sanctuary.
(Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh.
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh.)
Why everywhere you go, everywhere you turn,
Everyone's in pain?
(Didn't Jesus say that it would be this way?)
It's easy to see, but it's hard to explain.
(Brutality, depravity, immorality ev'rywhere.)
Where do you turn -- where do you go
When you believe you don't belong?
(There is a secret place, I know your secret place...)
Where you'll be all right when the world be all wrong.
(You can believe, that He can see --
He'll never leave you alone.)
(There is no depth, there is no highest height
Can separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ.)
Not what has been, or what shall be,
Can keep the Lord from you, ooh
Sanctuary - free my people, Lord.
Sanctuary - free my people, Lord.
Sanctuary - free my people, Lord (sanctuary).
Deep in my heart, I do believe,
Someday that we shall all be free;
(In a better Place, where we'll see His face.)
And every hurt He will finally redeem.
(There'll be no suff'ring for you and me anymore.)
And all of the things that go down in the night --
Stuff that ain't right -- is jus' so we'll know...
(We will know...)
That we all need God; and this world's not our home.
(Can't you see that you and me 'r just visitin' in this world.)
Sanctuary - free my people, Lord.
Sanctuary - free my people, Lord.
Sanctuary - free my people, Lord (sanctuary).
Ain't no mountain high (sanctuary)
Ain't no valley low (sanctuary)
That can stop my God (sanctuary)
Free my people, Lord
Hey (oh oh oh oh). Hey (oh oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh oh). Free (oh oh oh oh) Yeah--oh yeay...
(There is no depth, there is no highest height
Can separate us from the love of God in Jesus Christ)
Not what has been, or what shall be,
Can keep the Lord from you, oh...
Oh... (May He send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion)
Oh... (May He send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion)
(Oh oh oh oh) Yeay...
(Oh oh oh oh) Yeay...
(Oh oh oh oh) Sanctuary!
Sanctuary - free my people, Lord.
Sanctuary - free my people, Lord.
Sanctuary - free my people, Lord (sanctuary).
Ain't no mountain high (sanctuary);
Ain't no valley low (sanctuary).
That can stop my God (sanctuary).
Free my people, oh (sanctuary).
(Sanctuary, oh oh oh oh) Hey (sanctuary)
Free my people Lord (sanctuary)
Ain't no mountain high (sanctuary)
Ain't no valley low (sanctuary)
That can stop my God (sanctuary)
All the lonely people roam
The streets in search of makeshift home
In all the darkness there's one light
A shining Mecca in the night
There's no sanctuary from your own mind
There's no sanctuary from the binds of time
There's no sanctuary from what troubles you
There is nowhere else to go, this will have to do
They tried to break me in that place
I shed my number, showed my face
They said face up, you just can't hide
I dug a tunnel, crawled inside
Married with children, and a dog
To a man who hits her when he's wild
Overbearing, undercaring
Keeps her like a frightened child
She's made a man inside her head
Whose gentle, good and strong
And he can take her far from the carnivore
How far?
Shangri-La far, there she will belong
I need you near (get out of there)
Sanctuary (get out of there)
No one comes here (get out of there)
We live alone in nowhere (get out of there)
Stands in the kitchen wishing hard
Staring out at distant stars
Raise the baby, change the other one
Pray her man unveils his heart
She says this and consoles herself
It's just an empty stage
It's just an empty stage I'm gone thought
How far could it stretch?
How far could it go?
I need you near (get out of there)
Sanctuary (get out of there)
No one comes here (get out of there)
We live alone in nowhere
He won't find you (get out of there)
And I'll unwind you (get out of there)
Cause I really do care (get out of there)
You trapped in fear and you have to get out of there,
get out of there
Get out of there, get out of there
Get out of there
Half an hour passes
She moves, takes the phone receiver from the wall
Dials a number, dials another one
No one seems to hear her call
She's tried her friends, they can't help with her
private hell
Slowly she drifts further away from him
How far?
Well, see that star?
That's how far she could go
How far?
See that star?
How far could she go?
I need you near me
Sanctuary
No one cone here
We'll live alone in nowhere
Get out of there
Get out of there
People, places
names and faces
they come and they go, leaving traces
sometimes my world gets filled with so much noise
that my heart gets pulled away
but i find my peace in you
and if i seek, i will find.
a treasure in you that time can't take away.
(chorus)
sanctuary
pure and holy
in a secret place i'll find you there.
sanctuary
pure and holy
in a secret place i'll find you there.
i'll find you there
(repeat verse and chorus)
oh to be washed in the water of your holy words
and oh to be healed by the touch of your hands
in your sanctuary
pure and holy
in a secret room i'll find you there.
sanctuary
pure and holy
in the secret room i'll find you there.
Loaded with dynamite
I don't give a fuck 'cause
Everybody die tonight
Call me negative
Call me what you want
You are nothing
Never was…never will
My hostility
My sanctuary
My reality
My sanctuary…underground
Coming with the storm
You wish you were never born
Fucked up reality
I'll take your soul and plant my seed
My hostility
My sanctuary
My reality
My sanctuary…underground
No excuses, no regrets
Everybody die tonight
Everybody die tonight
No divisions, no turning back
Everybody die tonight
Everybody die tonight
Sanctuary, sanctuary
Everybody die tonight
tried everything to find you
i even took the stairway to hell
i wrote these words down to remind you
that i know life is never pass or fail
so hand me the keys to your kingdom
give me back my garden of Eden
lead me to a place that i can call my own
a home
a sanctuary
home
and we are standing on the edge of it
trying to make some sense of it all
the fear is building and the hatred
until you know we're left with nothing left at all
you know i'm falling
so hand me the code to your gates of knowledge
teach me the truth i never learned in college
lead me through the valley, let me find a place called
home
a sanctuary
home
and it's the archeticture of peace
and it's the streets that lead to release
and it's the hallways and doorways of hope
and its a place that we call
home
(home-i tried everything to find you
home- i lost everything to find you)
the military is leading tours through town
a couple more weeks and the walls come down
i don't care if its East or West
i just need to get some rest, I'm
home
and it's the archeticture of peace
and it's the streets the lead to release
and it's the hallways and doorways of hope
and it's a place that we call home
sha la, sha lalala sha la
sha la lalalala sha la sha lalala la la
The night is unfolding
And I feel you breathing next to me
A face in the darkness
As I dance in the temple of the living dead
You started a fire
And the blood is rising in my veins
You started a fire
Isolation
Can you hear the sound of my desperate cry?
You were my sanctuary
The price I paid for a lonely heart
You were my sanctuary
The night is gonna tear us apart
The face on the street
Closing my eyes
A gentle touch
A desperate hand
Remove the blade from my soul
Steal this kiss before it's gone away
You started a fire
Isolation
What is this thing you do
Make me just tell the truth
Whenever I turn to you I surrender
Fears that I've tried to hide
And every old alibi
Now I see a source of light
Just within my reach
You are my sanctuary
My beacon in the night
You opened up your heart
You let me walk inside
When the world is turnin' crazy
I run to your embrace
Only you can save me
I've finally found a place
To lay down the load that I carry
You are my sanctuary
Don't know what brought us here
But one thing I know clear
I traveled a trali of tears to find you
Now when I'm on the brink
Down to my weakest link
And the weight makes me sink
Down to my knees
You are my sanctuary
My beacon in the night
You opened up your heart
You let me walk inside
When the world is turnin' crazy
I run to your embrace
Only you can save me
I've finally found a place
To lay down the load that I carry
You are my sanctuary
Now love seems so easy
You are my everything
So simple you touch me
My worries drift away
You are my sanctuary
My beacon in the night
You opened up your heart
You let me walk inside
When the world is turnin' crazy
I run to your embrace
Only you can save me
I've finally found a place
To lay down the load that I carry
You are my sanctuary
It's been way too long since I spoke my confession
My heart has a burden I hope you will listen
Oh you're my sanctuary
Despite the road we've chosen to the wilderness I roamed
But there I found no shelter like a prodigal son I've come back home
To my sanctuary
Well I believe you're the faith when there's a shadow of doubt
You're the prayer that mother's whisper each night for their sons everywhere
And your love is the gift that you give when you let me in
You're my sanctuary
I'm standin' out here knockin' knockin' at your door
I miss our sweet communion loves mercy's brought me back for more
Oh you're such a mystery how you make my spirit soar you're my sanctuary
Well I believe you're the faith...

It's a race against time
And there's nowhere to hide
So they look for the sign
In the sky
Chorus:
No sanctuary
But its all a mistake
It's already too late
The key to our fate
Is inside
Yes it's hidden away
From the light of the day
In the minds of the
Masters of men
The damage is done
So the suffering goes on
With the aid of the
Can't keep a flower underground
Can't keep the sun from shining down
And I can't make you stay
You feel your world is undefined
You feel that what you need is time
Open up your wings and find your way
And I won't try to hold you back
And I hope you already know that
I'll be your sanctuary
Be the last one left here standing
If you're feelin all alone
When the world feels so temporary
And you think there's such a long
Long way to go
You're all ready home
You're home
You might be somewhere flyin free
The same sky is watching over me
Close your eyes and look around
What ever ocean that you cross
Thought you many drift you're never lost
And I will be your solid ground
Cause I know that inside my heart
Gonna get back to where we started
You're already here in my arms
The way that you are tonight
Just give me till mornin' comes
It's gonna be all right -
I'll...(Sanctuary)
Times are tough, frustration
Need relief, medication
Gone to far, intoxication
Fight the urge, of temptation
Miles ago, no destination
Is a real, hallucination
Lose the dream, of stagnation
Feel so lost, despiration

It's much too close, cantamination
Love and pain, and deviation
Just suck it all, ejaculation
It's much to late, for damnation

When I was young,
My mother told me,
She said "Son,
Someday everything's gonna be alright.
There's no excape,
There's no salvation,
It's much to dark, for revelation."

I can't think of simple questions,
Asking for where we are speeding to.
I'm floating on unseen rivers,
On pulses of light,
While trying to hide
Sincere emotions.
This is my sanctuary,
The place where I hide
In secrecy.
Neglecting those I love,
Feeling hypnotized.
The two-dimensional gates,
That's where I feel alive.
My hereabouts unknown,
Anonymous ID.
Wherever I do roam
blind eyes search the sky
but try not to reveal uncertainty
behind images dancing on a wall
each tear a vision
the more you cry you'll learn
it's so easy to hide in the dark
the song you know so well
encourages to flee the answer to your tears
lingers in colours you can't see
each word a whisper
the more they say you'll find
it's so easy to hide in the dark
you won't find the treasure below the rainbows end
black and white are strangers to the pictures of the rain
you meet another day
with hasty little lies
when someone laughs you turn away
glad people make you feel unsafe
there's a place where all is sound
where you know you won't be found
where the sun and the moon never shine
Is this the sanctuary
We talked of in the night?
Is this the sanctuary?
I must try to do what's right
A cold light shines from the watchtower window
Chill wind scratches out my face
Blown between the bars
That hold this place
Is this the sanctuary
We talked of in the night?
Is this the sanctuary?
I must try to do what's right
Twilight howl, the searchlight owl
Wire fingers grip the air
Freedom only comes
To those who dare
Is this the sanctuary
We talked of in the night?
Is this the sanctuary?
Where all our hopes have turned to stone
Nothing left to lose but life itself
Nowhere left to go but through the wire
Cross the compound's barren waste with dread
The sun shall rise upon the free and dead
The free and the dead, ooh
Run (run)
Hide (hide)
But you can't flee what lies inside
Sleep (sleep)
Dream (dream)
But only to the sound of screams
Fear (fear)
Doubt (doubt)
That save for death, there's no way out
Seek (seek)
Find (find)
The free and promised land that lies nearby
And... and... and... and...
And though I wear the yellow badge of hate
I walk a free man through the opening gate
Still ghostly figures line the wire in a daze
No need for flowers here, there are no graves
And though I wear the yellow badge of hate
I walk a free man past the padlocked gates
I pause to look the searchlight in the eye
Should the stars get in
Your eyes tonight
Remember - remember - Love
And should the strong winds
Become far too much
Remember - remember
Your sanctuary
Should you come into
The promised land
Remember - remember
From where you came
And if your greatest fears are realized
Remember - remember
Your sanctuary
Hush pretty baby and don't you cry
Your daddy's here so
Brush the tears out of your eyes
Brush them from your eyes
Should you find you have
The things you need
Remember - remember - Me
And should the moon turn red
Stars leave the sky
Remember - remember
And by the moonlight flow visions born from darkness
The answer shall now be found
And by the moonlight
All will be revealed, wisdom of the ages falls like rain
I am of the future, take my fire and release your flame
And so I leave this world, never to return
My candle has been burned, for deliverance I yearn
Time cannot erase the mark I leave on time and space
Sanctuary burns, raging grace
I will live on, pure energy and perfect knowledge
The eye of the storm, judgment now awaits for me
Am I born to darkness or to light?
I'm flying to the sun, wings are stained with blood
My journey has begun, am I blessed or am I damned
Years will melt away, my mortal shell left to decay
The Sanctuary learns your love and hate
I will live on, pure energy and perfect knowledge
The eye of the storm, judgment now awaits for me
Am I born to darkness or to light?
And so I leave this world, never to return
I am the new life form, I have seen and you will learn
Time cannot erase, my passage through this sacred place
What do you see on the news when you watch T.V.
War in the name of God, or a playground killing spree
Politicians promise you the world, and a preacher cries
All he ever wanted was your money, and a bitch on the side
What went wrong? Did society twist him?
What do you see in the center of the public eye
Rock stars on smack, and a serial killer fries
Radicals blame suicide and murder on our from of art
Brainwash the youth, you know they claim we all play a part
What a shame that they can't think for themselves
Past tense to future tense let history unfold
So ends a decade now what will the nineties hold
You know we're verging on the edge of an age
Then another century will turn the page
What do you think they will say when they look back on this
Were the eighties just a time of spoiled innocence
We leave our legacy like dust in the sands of time
Let's hope the seeds we plant can carry the weight of our crimes
Past tense to future tense let history unfold
And when we're old and gray these stories will be told
You know we're verging on the edge of an age
Then another century will turn the page
We sail an ocean, a sea of doubt
Skeptics make no sense, can't work things out
I'll choose optimism, scream its name
Look to the future, a burning flame
Past tense to future tense let history unfold
So ends a decade now what will the nineties hold
You know we're verging on the edge of an age
Then another century will turn the page
The quest for Eden leads us on, fuel to theorize
Is there a place in time where war and peace collide?
Our lives begin naked and unknowing
Given time we spoil as desire shapes our will
Sing unto me sinners, the masses are on fire
The flames skin deep through the core of life
The minions learn through fear and uprise
Fading in the distant haze the myths we've made burn on
Sing a song of sadness of lunacy's mad lore
Bastardized by the dogs of war
A woman still pure made a whore
Leaders throughout history killed for Eden's gain
No one knows where Eden lies
Between hope and fantasy so pure
No one knows where Eden lies
Fools sits on high so Eden lies obscured
From our view
Inside your mind is the key to the garden's gate
The quest for Eden leads us on, fuel to theorize
Is there a place in time where war and peace collide?
Sing unto me sinners and share with me your minds
The keys to knowledge we seek to find
Those who conform push thorns in our eyes
But still I persist join in my cause
For change is eclipsed by apathy
No one knows where Eden lies
I will not worship your deity
There is no place in your religion for me
Slaves to the vision of a dying world
I malign
One with the universe, one star will shine
Who will be chosen, not one will know
The path to the perfect way, it is slow
All needs and all human traces of thoughtlessness
I resign
I pray to the alien, and we align
Greater understanding really isn't hard to find
Never will you see unless you open up your mind
Religious misdirection washes out reality
Tear down the facade and see into infinity
Communion is evolution
Of the mind to a higher form of reason
Communion, a resolution
A search for inner peace
I will not worship your deity
There is no place in your religion for me
Slaves to the vision of a dying world
I malign
One with the universe, one star will shine
Greater understanding really isn't hard to find
Never will you see unless you open up your mind
Religious misdirection washes out reality
Tear down the facade and see into infinity
Communion is evolution
Of the mind to a higher form of reason
Communion, a resolution
A search for inner peace
Communion is evolution
Of the mind to a higher form of reason
Communion, a resolution
An army of vengeance invading from the sky
Hot wings of iron pierce into the night
Slaughtering the lost souls, the fruit of evil's womb
Their heathen ways have sealed their door
Echoing across the distant skies
The shout is heard battle angels cry
You'll all fall on your knees, and hail to our dawn
Crawl on your knees, the slaughter is on
The battle is raging, attack formation set
Hot blood flows through the streets, their pact is kept
To rape and kill the martyr, who dwells within this shrine
They did not heed the warning signs
Descending from the clouds they hunt you still
Battle angels kill your forces of will
You'll all fall on your knees, and hail to the our dawn
Crawl on your knees, the slaughter is on
Fall on your knees and hail to the our dawn
Crawl on your knees, the slaughter is on
Little Alice is on drugs again...
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em all a hookah
Smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call alice
When she was just small
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had
Some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask alice
I think she'll know
When the logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight
Is talking backwards
And the red queen's:
"Off whith her head"
Remember what the doormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head
I've passed into the afterworld
To a place where light can't intrude
I bear this curse transcending time
My pain denies me your truths
Dreaming to be free, yet damned to eternity
Dreams can set me free for awhile
Chained to this burning, yet only a child
My soul must feed, their blood has made me King
Look deep in my eyes
And see the calm before the
Storm winds of the damned are unveiled
And so with your blood
I feed and quell my hunger
The boy Pharaoh's curse is passed on
Screams of dying, I am back from beyond
Mock my religion, by the power of the God's I am strong
Rebirth through fire shall hold your fears at bay
See in my ancient eyes
Rip through my veil of disguise
Prowl in the darkness, pierce your throat
And your life-force is drained
Now my disciple, I take you and make you my slave
Rebirth through fire can hold your fears at bay
See in my ancient eyes
Rip through my veil of disguise
I have survived the centuries
Waiting for the mankind's demise
Surrender to me, and no longer live in terror
Give into me, or live your life in fear
I will dominate the likes of you
I will hunt you with the rising moon
Just one look from me and you are hypnotized
Frozen by the spell within my eyes
I'm ordained to reign
As I see the sun rise on these ancient sands
Steel eyes stare back at you
Held by his gaze he's healed you
Gripped by terror for now you see
The talisman shall hold the key
The blind prophet shall breathe fire
Foretelling dreams of past
And visions of your death
He lies shackled in the mire
And beckons to your cries
Dreaming of your dreams
Corrupt eyes filled with hate
Their greedy souls opened
Hell's gate
The crosses mirror his growing rage
They've breached this keep
He's fled his cage
So I bring black plague to you
Lightning congeals to kill you
Relentless screams call unto me
We are the soldiers of steel
The blind jackal of remorse
Has chosen you as pawn
And seized your crippled mind
Blue eyes glowing slammed the door
And killed the silence we once knew
Deliverer of mankind
Still I will seek the truth
The pious one can never rule
Prophetic visions are now shown clear
Upon the wall "I will be free"
So I bring black plague to you
Lightning congeals to kill you
Relentless screams call unto me
We are the soldiers of steel
I was born a warrior, force of steel in my hands
We must fight to save our world
Spread this message through the land
Seize control
We will fight to seize control
We will fight to seize control
And the time has come for man to change
And free this earth form coming plague
Change is coming, my voice shall be heard
A new day dawning, hear my words
I bring truth and understanding to your darkest fears
Ascension to your destiny is drawing near
Taste the wrath of my swift sword, legion of the night
Immortals come to rule the earth on beams of light
Fight to seize control
We will fight to seize control, we will fight
Change is coming, my voice shall be heard
A new day is dawning, hear my words
I bring truth and understanding to your darkest fears
Ascension to your destiny is drawing near
Taste the wrath of my swift sword, legion of the night
Immortals come to rule the earth on beams of light
See the world burning, is this a dream?
Warrior returning, his blood is steel
Time has come for man to change
And free this earth from coming plague
Change is coming, my voice shall be heard
You're living in a lie, your tears, repentance fills your eyes
Your life is not what it seems to be
For you breed agony
Your tortured mind will cry out, take my soul
Die for me, die for my sins for i've seen
My cold and bitter end
Trapped illusions of your fate
Your end is only what you've made
Return and taste reality again
Your sudden faith is all in vain
Your withered voice is chanting
I'm impure
Die for me, die for my sins for i've seen
My cold and bitter end
Standing at the altar, hands in prayer
Your crystal image shatters despair
Suffering no one can help you now
Betrayed by your worn and tattered vows
You're living in a lie, your tears, repentance fills your eyes
Your life stands for nothing but your shame
No one else will bear your blame
My mortal life of anguish i've endured
Die for me, die for my sins for i've seen
My cold and bitter end
As you feel the lies hypocrisy chokes the life from you
Die for me, die only for me
Mark my grave, and call the winds of torment
Oh, remember me now, and feed the wind with your dreams
Feel my name, and feel my blood in your veins
Now the tide will turn, I will live on through you
Mark my name upon the flesh you create
No, don't cry for me, my son, myself
I am waiting my son, on the threshold to the other side
Cannot tell you what is here
What I see now is beyond your mind
I am formless, but I feel
All the questions burning in your head
Learn your lesson and never grieve
For there is no beginning, and there is no end
I'm standing at the door of time, I see life complete
Truth is never what is seems
Bodies wither, but your mind still dreams
No one ever can rest in peace
Until they've learned the game and become light to darkness
See me shine
I'm standing at the door of time, I see life complete
Oh father where will I be when I meet my time?
You will pass on and follow me, into the sanctuary
I am in the mirror, see my reflection in the stars
And as you search for truth, so I will shine to spur you on
Spur you on
Bathe in the pure truth of my light
Time is an illusion, death is not conclusion
All those who seek the truth will questions still remaining
Now listen closely, and all will be so clear
I am a messenger, a bringer of light from the other side
So chosen now to teach while drifting between lives
Drifting, drifting
It's been long since dark
Sitting here bathed in the moonshade
Underneath a willow'tree
To stare above, the sky is burning
The diamonds dance in nocturnal symphony
What does it mean? How do I fit into the scheme?
Why is there dark sky above, what does it veil?
Is there a purpose to the point
Beyond the norm we hail?
Reflecting on my future to come
Underneath the crescent moon
Long since dark, and my thoughts are flowing
And deeper still, beyond the cloak of unknown
Relentless drone, why was I put here, left alone?
Why do I hunger to know what will I gain?
Is there true wisdom without end
Or will I find just pain?
How many times do we take for granted
Simple things that make life sweet
Enraptured by material longings
We miss the point, we need to know, to see
Beyond your being, and in the void lies the meaning
Just as the dark sky above had spoke to me
The answer came so clear, then vanished
For a moment I was free
These day it's a cold reality, living life on the street
No time left to bite the hand that feeds
The lure of money corrupts the weak, and soon they fall
Little boy turns to man with a weapon when
he's poisoned with crack
This time it was his turn to dies
Fate call his number in a bloody goodbye
Play war games, crack cocaine, all for material gain
Stray gunfire an innocent dies
The shadow of hope bleeds as power begets greed
One more murder and one more death
Make no difference in the street
Come tomorrow you could be dead
That's the grim reality
And the media they feed off the sickness
They stoke the fire as they eat
All the while being glamorized by rap
The lure of power creates a death trap of social decay
Play war games, crack cocaine, all for material gain
In the end, your life is spend
The shadow of hope bleeds as power begets greed
One more murder and one more death
Make no difference in the street
Come tomorrow you could be dead
That's the grim reality
One more murder
Makes no difference in the street
One more murder
That's the grim reality
One night I had a dream
Of a maiden in black and silver
She said to me, "Why are you afraid?
Why is the truth so hard to attain?"
I will show you your fears
Just look in the mirror
You can conquer your fears
Look at me
Forty days and forty dreams
Darkened visions, incline the reason
Philosophy cannot soothe your soul
But in the mirror the truth will be known
I will show you your fears
Just look in the mirror
You can conquer your fears
Look in deep
See unobtrusive, through the lies
No longer afraid, afraid to die
And so I lived the dreams
Danced with the maiden, made love to blackness
She said to me, "You are not alone
Don't be afraid to cry"
No more terror sleeps in me
I will not cry, I'll be strong
The last tear has rolled down on my face
I am stronger, stronger than yesterday
I will show you your fears
Just look in the mirror
You can conquer your fears
Look in deep
In my mirror you might not like what you see
(I will show you your fears)
For the mirror reflects the fears that you feel
In the mirror you might not like what you see
(You can conquer your fears)
Staring into the sky, the red glare will blind your eyes
Afraid to see the light
Your fears have spread this plight
No way to kill the power
Behold your race will die
Deathrider comes from above
No place to hide nowhere to run
Deathrider's rage is on the loose
Your neck in it's eternal noose
Our leaders have set the course, impending world war
Afraid of what's been lost
Your life the bitter cost
No prayer can stop the third war
Behold the holocaust
Deathrider comes from above
No place to hide nowhere to run
As the city burns I cannot hear your cries
Will our world end in 1999
A fifteenth century seer saw us cast
Into the black, death attack
Afraid to see the light
Your fears have spread this plight
No way to kill the power
Behold your race will die
Deathrider comes from above
No place to hide nowhere to run
Deathrider's rage is on the loose
There's power here, we shall join and make a stand
Fear lives inside your mind and it whispers my command
Our leaders they tell us right and wrong
Rebellion is close at hand
Who are you to say what's right
Spit in your face, we will uprise
Violate, dominate, feel the force to terminate
Who are you to take our lives
Violate, dominate, feel the force to terminate
And so it's done, chaos surrounds this world gone mad
I dream of peace and love
No turning back it's not in their plan
It's over before it began
It's over I've seen the end
We will uprise, take my hand
Termination force will stand
Violate, dominate, feel the force to terminate
We will uprise, take my hand
Violate, dominate, feel the force to terminate
You take the first blow, I taste revenge
Let anger come my will is done, malicious in my intent
The hate is rising, the swell of fear takes over
And, oh the taste is sweet my friend
So bittersweet
No more anger, I've had my revenge
Beg for mercy, I'll take you down
No more hatred, I've had my revenge
Eye for an eye, taste my revenge
Caught in a time warp, rage in the wind
The shock of surprise still in your eyes
As you met your violent end
Your strength was failing, degrading you was power
My recourse is complete my friend
So bittersweet
No more anger, I've had my revenge
Beg for mercy, I'll take you down
No more hatred, I've had my revenge
Eye for an eye, taste my revenge
As you implore on bended knee
Do you regret what you've done to me?
No matter how you plead, I'll take you down
The hate is rising, the swell of fear takes over
And, oh the taste is sweet me friend
So bittersweet
No more anger, I've had my revenge
Beg for mercy, I'll take you down
No more hatred, I've had my revenge
Eye for an eye, taste my revenge
As you implore on bended knee
Do you regret what you've done to me?
Feel my pain, live my sorrow
Do you know me, I am destruction
Conflicts brings, eternal devastation
Kill the war pigs, who deceive the nations
Here this message across the sea of the dead
Will we ever live this dream I have bled
And through politics and crime
Forgotten future dies, the seasons has begun
To rise again
And in the dark we weep
We cry and we sing, don't let it all begin
These times are seasons of destruction
And each day is a little more cold
Reasons why elude those who structure our lives
So make a change, before it's too late
Look around you see the world that we've made
This grand creation, our human race
No control, no help from above
It's up to mankind, what we live in fear of
Feel this message implanted in your head
We will never live to see the bloodshed
Stop the conflicts coming rise
Before seasons of destruction drag us down
Baptismal fire
And through this mystic dawn
Our minds are free and strong
Born again as one
These times are seasons of destruction
And each day is a little more cold
Reasons why elude those who structure our lives
So make a change, before it's too late
Feel my pain, hear my warning
Well, it’s 3 am
And my life feels like a battleground
I can feel the weight
And I’m trying not to let you down
And there you are
Right beside me
Reaching out
And just like I prayer
I can hear you say
Let me be your sanctuary
There’ll always be a place you can hide
When it’s all too much
And you wanna give up
I will stand with you
Be the one you run to
Come to me
Just let me be your sanctuary
It’s a waste of time
Pretending like I’m made of stone
And my big mistake
Was thinking I could go it alone
I’m not afraid
To say I need you
My saving grace
All that I want is to hear you say
I’ll build a wall around you
So nothing can get in
If you want me to
"Father never warned him of the dead that live within, tearing through his skin at last."
Heavy head in battered hands, the tortured boy kneels
Praying to an empty god to see his end tonight
Father never warned him of the dead that lives within
Tearing through his skin at last
I am not your sanctuary
I am not your alibi
Try and break through the walls around you
Beat me with broken hands
I will silence you
Just beyond the shadows waits a darkness
Only you, my child, can bear this gift from me
I leave you now to claim your place
Across the great divide
All shall suffer me
I am not your sanctuary
I am not your alibi
Try and break through the walls around you
Beat me with broken hands
I will silence you
I am not your sanctuary
I am not your alibi
Try and break through the walls around you
Beat me with broken hands
I will silence you
I am the enemy
I am not your sanctuary
I am not your alibi
Try and break through the walls around you
Beat me with broken hands
I will silence you

---------
*= I need more affection than you know
**= So many ups and downs
so go ahead and lie to yourself,
and pretend that you're a ray of light,
when you're a broken candle,
you're keeping time with yourself,
when did it all start moving way too fast,
for you to handle,
you're short on breath but heavy on time,
you lost the words but you found the rhyme,
it's all just poetry now,
the walls are singing,
hallelujah amen,
the walls are singing,
hallelujah amen,
it's so dark in the room,
and the ceilings are high,
you know the feeling,
you've been here before,
and it's a broken old pew,
and it's an echoing cry,
don't sell yourself short,
on breath and heavy on time,
you lost the words but you found the rhyme,
it's all just poetry now,
the walls are singing,
hallelujah amen,
the walls are singing,
hallelujah amen,
in time you'll find,
this life's a painting and you're the artist,
so open your eyes,
it's never too late to clear your canvas,
so paint me jealous,
paint me rage,
for God's sake paint me anything,
just paint,
your brush awaits,
hallelujah amen,
the walls sing you to sleep,
hallelujah amen,
one secret meant to keep you safe tonight,
Sanctuary, safe with you
Oh my love what did i do
To make you want, to stay with me
Without you now where would i be
My Sanctuary
Sanctuary, place of rest
I lay my head against your chest
Here on earth, my island of
Peace and legendary love
My Sanctuary
I wish on dreams, I fly on stars
Across the sky, to where you are
Where the Angel River runs
Beyond the night, and to the sun
Sanctuary
Circle us, with only honesty and trust
Here our prayers, keep us warm
The perfect calm and darkest storm
My Sanctuary
I wish on dreams, I fly on stars
Across the sky, to where you are
Where the Angel River runs
Beyond the night, and to the sun
Sanctuary
Safe with you
Oh my love what do you do
Far away, or close to me
With my last breath your arms will be
My Sanctuary

Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
If who I am is where I’ve been
Then you’ve seen the world
But realize soon that you’ve been visiting
From the confines of this dirty hotel
To a bedroom, inside of a home
It only takes love, to build this sanctuary
It only takes love, I find this necessary
It only takes love, to build this sanctuary
I want to find love that is not temporary
So build a frame, add the porch, lock the windows,
Sweep the floor,
The house you created just locked love out the door
Does a war need weapons to cause a wound?
Because I can’t stop this bleeding in this house on my own
The bullets hit my skin, but are deflected by my heart
Standing through an open door way, sick feeling out of place
People walking by ignore me, I want to turn and run away
So I turn and away
I close my eyes, and I disappear from here to
My sanctuary, my hide away, my secret window
Nobody can see me when I disappear into my place
My complications, my fantasies, my destinations
Never going to let you get into my head it`s my
Sanctuary
You think that you can understand me,
You think you got me figured out
How could you when you never listen?
You don`t know what I`m about
Don`t you know I tune you out
I`m far away, to a place where you can`t go
You know it`s
My sanctuary, my hide away, my secret window
Nobody can see me when I disappear into my place
My complications, my fantasies, my destinations
Never going to let you get into my head it`s my?
Sanctuary
I ,I oh oh oh I, I oh oh oh
Go ahead and try and fool me with you lies,
I escape in to shadows of my mind to
My sanctuary, my hide away, my secret window
Nobody can see me when I disappear into my place
My complications, my fantasies, my destinations
Never going to let you get into my head it`s my
My sanctuary, my hide away, my secret window
Fall, and get up somehow. Stall, and waste away.
Now I'm all alone. Something take me away.
Sanctuary. I can't take anymore.
Days--they come and go. Time--it drifts away.
Life--it must go on. Something take me away.
The Snow Goose swept off course by a sea storm just reaches the Essex coast. Fritha finds her exhausted and wounded on the beach and gently cradles her, for she has heard that nearby lives a man who is a great healer of birds.
You left me broken
So many tears I cried for you.
Tried to understand
all that we've been through
Lost, confused
Is this hope? Abuse?
I'll still shelter you,
keep you warm
Protect you from the storm
Holding you close to my heart
I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your open arms
and I will find sanctuary
Wrapped around you
The whole world just disappears
Time stands still when I'm with you
A moment feels like years
I feel confused
There's so much to lose.
My head is fighting with my heart,
it feels so torn apart
Holding you close to my heart
I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your open arms
and I will find sanctuary
Just making it up as I go along
Feels so right when I'm with you,
but I know it's wrong.
I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your open arms
intro: G G/F#m Em C Em (2x)
versI: C D
i know i can never be enough
but i'll always be here
i know that my words are simple and shallow
but i mean everything i say and do
i know i dont have a diamond ring
to put on your finger
but i will see to it that we will
always be together
Refrain: Bm C D
And i thank you from
the bottom of my heart
because
Chorus: G C Em D
You are my light, you are my home
you are my sanctuary
You are my peace, you give me hope
you are my sanctuary
verseII: (same chords as verseI)
you are my better half
you taught me things that i need
to know
and you made me realize that life
is not just a simple song
(repeat refrain)
(repaet chorus)
(adlib)
Chorus: G C Em D
you are m guide when iam lost
you are my santuary
you are the heart that
keeps me alive
you are my sanctuary
you are the kiss that makes me strong
you are my sanctuary
you are the warmth when i feel cold
you are my sanctuary
It's been way too long since I spoke my confession
My heart has a burden I hope you will listen
Oh you're my sanctuary
Despite the road we've chosen to the wilderness I roamed
But there I found no shelter like a prodigal son I've come back home
To my sanctuary
Well I believe you're the faith when there's a shadow of doubt
You're the prayer that mother's whisper each night for their sons everywhere
And your love is the gift that you give when you let me in
You're my sanctuary
I'm standin' out here knockin' knockin' at your door
I miss our sweet communion loves mercy's brought me back for more
Oh you're such a mystery how you make my spirit soar you're my sanctuary
Well I believe you're the faith...

Sanctuary (Terrence Howard)
Living like casanova was living,
Feeling unsure but no one was missing and
you call; you wanted me
Headed out on to war I was restless
Really can't count for more than you're
blessed with and
you call; now you count on me
I said now it's all right,
If part of your life you been a runaway
Now it's all right if,
part of the time
you've been looking for me
uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Been a lot of casanovas you dealt with,
Lights on the door but its empty
and you call, now you wanted me
life isn't simply the (tastin?)
all seems so sure when youre wasted and
you called, now you count on me.
I said Now it's all right if
part of the time,
you've been a runaway
Now it's all right
if part of your life
you've been looking for me
uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Living like casanova was living,
Feeling unsure but no one was missing and
you phone; now you count on me
I said Now it's all right,
if part of your life
you've been a runaway, runaway
Now it's all right if,
part of the time,
you've been looking for me
uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Hold me don't you cry. Its a
long way down; up real high
Hold me; don't be scared

Yeah though I walk through the valley of the shadow thou
art with me
though my heart's been torn on fields of battle thou art
with me
though my trust is gone and my faith not near
in love's sanctuary thou art with me
Through desolation's fire and fear's dark thunder thou
art with me
through the sea of desires that drag me under thou art
with me
though I've been traded in like a souvenir
on love's sanctuary thou art wiyh me
Through the doubter's gloom and the cynic's sneer thou
art with me
in the crowded rooms of a mind unclear thou art with me
though I'll walk for a while down a trail of tears
In the dead of night, I slipped away
I left my home, my own country
For political views, they persecuted me
Freedom for all, democracy
To set my people free
Got to find a way
From the grip of tyranny
Got to get away
Give to me, sanctuary
Give to me, sanctuary
As dusk casts a shadow, my fate had dawned
In this holy shrine, I pray to the Lord
Within these walls, to fulfill my plight
For what I believe, I must fight the good fight
To set my people free
Got to find a way
From the grip of tyranny
Got to get away
Give to me, sanctuary
Give to me, sanctuary
Prisoners of conscience, see the country's shame
Faceless politicians, playing power games
Out of light comes darkness, out of pleasure comes pain
We must fight against oppression, time and time again
The sands of time are running low
This holy sanctuary, my home no more
Now I'll die, your soul bleeds to death
Now I await, my passing breath
To set my people free
Got to find a way
From the grip of tyranny
Got to get away
Give to me, sanctuary
Give to me, sanctuary
Give to me, sanctuary
There is a place within all of us,
It is sacred, so free of judgement.
And this is yours to share with who you wish
This is your sanctuary.... sanctuary
There is no boundry , no rule to adhere
There is love, there is hate
There is want, there is need
There is greed ....
You can laugh, you can cry
For you are free on the inside
This is your sanctuary.... sanctuary
Take this light, hold it high, feel it shine.
I know now that here inside ... this is mine.
.... this is yours.
This is your sanctuary....
I know i can never be enough
But i'll always be here
I know that my words are simple and shallow
But i mean everything i say and do
I know i don't have a diamond ring
To put on your finger
But i will see to it that we will
Always be together
And i thank you from
The bottom of my heart
Because
You are my light, you are my home
You are my sanctuary
You are my peace, you give me hope
You are my sanctuary
You are my better half
You taught me things that i need
To know
And you made me realize that life
Is not just a simple song
You are my guide when iam lost
You are my santuary
You are the heart that
Keeps me alive
You are my sanctuary
You are the kiss that makes me strong
You are my sanctuary
You are the warmth when i feel cold
You are my sanctuary
Everyone is leaving here all wounded by the heart
All waiting for Moses
Take me home again
You told me in the sand
Look at the real
Oh world of steel
And the flowers all bend into sanctuaries
In the nighttime when she dreams of flawless skin
Dreams the nature of man like a solid sculpture
Like a crow leaves all behind for a prey you crouch and find
That in the end of it he crawls for your womb
Sanity I need you now that I'm taking it apart
Love's not a deer
Keep it real
And you couldn't keep a secret even if you wanted to choose
Your eyes aren't clear
Your eyes aren't clear
In the subway you relate to all the colours
The translation of your moves
And you seek to find
You just need to find anyone
And the flowers all bend into sanctuaries
In the nighttime when she dreams of your bodies spin
You are the nature of sin so put your heart into it
Like a crow leaves all behind for the symbol of nature's child
It eats my heart like this
And from my heart like a veil runs the blood
Gasping:
"You're extraordinary..."
"With your astral lungs"
"You're playing it harder than most"
You're running in circles
Yet travelling in straight lines
You're racing around
You move at the speed of time
We're running together
We're moving along the way
Whatever the weather
You'll find there'll be no delay
Sure you can hit the beaten track
But you can never turn it back
One way
Moving on a straight line
Moving on a straight line
You're making decisions
You wonder which way to choose
There's this way and that way
How could you ever lose
We're shifting together
We're on a production line
All drifting together
As a patent unique design
Yes you can hit the beaten track
But you can never turn it back
One one
Straight lines straight lines
Straight lines straight lines
Straight lines straight lines
Straight lines straight lines
Moving on a straight line
Moving on a straight line
It's part of the service
That carries you on ahead
There's only the one way
The ticket is on your head
With robot precision
We're gonna be doin' just fine
So here we are here we go
Moving in one straight line
Sure you can hit the beaten track
But you can never turn it back
One way
Straight lines straight lines
Straight lines straight lines
Straight lines straight lines
Straight lines straight lines
Moving on a straight line
[Verse #1]
A rose, a smile
Cool summer night
Seduced by wine and cheap perfume
A kiss with fangs
And it began
So a lie became the truth
Who needs a heart?
She spits it all
She's safe inside, inside her...
[Chorus]
She won't cry
Not this time
She's safe inside her sanctuary
She needed you
To love her too
She's safe inside her sanctuary
[Verse #2]
Once Upon another time
She sought protection but she found
That no one cared
So she broke down
And built a wall to keep‘em out
Behind her smile
She lives a lie
She’s safe inside
Inside...
[Chorus]
She won't cry
Not this time
She's safe inside her sanctuary
She needed you
To love her too
She's safe inside her sanctuary
[Chorus]
She won't cry
Not this time
She's safe inside her sanctuary
She needed you
To love her too
Between the spaces where we long to be
Beyond together and alone
And at the edge where you fade into me
We find a shelter we call home...
Escape the shadows that were holding me
Slip these chains of flesh and bones
And in the seconds where we know we're free
This is the place where we call home
When there's no where left to run
Run with me
Let the moment be a sanctuary
When it's all that you've become
Set it free
Let this moment be a sanctuary
When there's no where left to run
Run with me
Let the moment be a sanctuary
When it's all that you've become
Set it free
That Old Pair Of Jeans
You Always See My Wearing When It's Grey
You Know What I Mean
I'm Riding A Lazy Mood
Cause You've Been Waiting Got Me Ready To Go
And I've Been Sraying Off The Way That I Know, Keep Me
Wise Enough, Nothing To Owe
Guess I Need Ya And I Want It To Show
Lying Here In My Sanctuary
Days Go Past Its Autumn Already
And I Wish It Would Thunder
Lying Here In My Sanctuary
Day's Go Past It's Autumn Already
And I Sit Here And Wonder
And I'll Kick Off My Shoes
Think About The Things I'd Like To Do
Everything Going Smooth
There Ain't Nothing I'd Rather Do
Cause You've Been Waiting Got Me Ready To Go
And I've Been Sraying Off The Way That I Know, Keep Me
Wise Enough, Nothing To Owe
Guess I Need Ya And I Want It To Show
Lying Here In My Sanctuary
Days Go Past Its Autumn Already
And I Wish It Would Thunder
Lying Here In My Sanctuary
Day's Go Past It's Autumn Already
And I Sit Here And Wonder
What I Say And What I Mean, Are Two Very Different Things
Can't Tell Life From Lies Got A Bad Sense Of Spins
What I Say And What I Mean Are Two Very Different Things,
Babe, It's Time To Figure It Out
Holding Your Hand In My Hands And I Wont Let Go
Keeping Your Words And Your Face Is A Place Like Home
Out of winter came a warhorse of steel
I've never killed a woman before
But I know how it feels
I know you'd have gone insane
If you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for
Sanctuary from the law
I met up with a stranger last night
To keep me alive
He spends all his money on gambling
And guns to survive
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law
[CHORUS]
So give me Sanctuary from the law
And I'll be alright
Just give me Sanctuary from the law
And love me tonight...tonight
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law
[CHORUS]
I can laugh at the wind
I can howl at the rain
Down in the canyon or out on the plains
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
Only 16, a pick up truck
Without money, without luck
I do not have a place to call
Hit the gas, that here I
I'm running free, I'm running free
I'm running free
I'm running free
Spend the night in a jail in Los Angeles
Hear the sound of sirens
They have nothing with me
I'm running wildly
I'm running free
The push to BottleTop
Whiskey, dancing, hard hop
and all the boys are behind me
So blind my eyes
I can not see
My mind aflame
Insanity
I used to stand out in the rain to hide my tears
Condition: hopeless
Driven by one hundred fears
Can you feel it,
feel it touching you?
Can you hear it?
What must I do?
Sanctuary can be found
There is silence from the sound
Of all the voices in your head
That lead you straight to the path of death
So sick at heart
My broken mind
Grateful am I to find a path my soul can climb
They told me that I could be free
Free to believe
In a power much greater than I could ever be
Sanctuary can be found
There is silence from the sound
Of all the voices in your head
That led you to the path of death
Sanctuary can be found
There is silence from the sound
Just lift your eyes to the stars above
and keep me safe in your arms of love
Now the scales fall from my eyes
As I finally realize
Now my mind is open wide
From yourself you cannot hide
Sanctuary can be found
There is silence from the sound
Of all the voices in your head
That lead you straight to the path of death
Sanctuary can be found
There is silence from the sound
Just lift your eyes to the stars above
Got my nose pressed to the grind stone,
Got my shoulder to the wheel.
I've been working just as hard as I can,
Can't recall what I'm supposed to feel.
Every day is such a busy day,
Everyone makes such demands.
Everything that I'd like to do
Takes second place to someone else's plans.
You're at home when I'm out working
When I get there we need our rest
That's why when we get away
Those are the days that I love best
Those are the days that I love best
Some day I'm going to lay me down
On my back where the grass is so green.
Watch the changing pattern of the clouds
Like I did when I was thirteen
Fix my eyes above the blue,
Fix my gaze above the sky
And I will thank the Lord for you.
And those friendships that never die.
Billy you're a real hard worker.
Stan's so busy - no time for bed.
Frankie's just a little bit tired.
Rather sing for his supper instead.
All the ladies smile a knowing smile,
It was potential that they seen.
Long ago, three fresh faced college guys,
When it wasn't just the grass was green.
And all you children laughing in the desert
Your momma's smile and your daddy's kiss
Will you take it from a boy who knows
It doesn't get much better than this
It doesn't get much better than this.
Some day I'm going to lay me down
On my back where the grass is so green.
Watch the changing pattern of the clouds
Like I did when I was thirteen
Fix my eyes above the blue,
Fix my gaze above the sky
And I will thank the Lord for you.
There's a certain feeling
Known to all who hear the sound
The call of morning rising
You're in a mystic space
Can't you feel the force embrace, the chill of the wind
As it names you
Oh, can't you see the lies in front of you
Your journey ends so far, and still the distance
Spins round and round you
Now you cry - give me sanctuary
You scream but no one listens
Again you cry - give me sanctuary
Until the end I'll fight and die, to be free
Oh! No sanctuary
You're walking halfway in
But crawling halfway out
There's a void in your mind that you cling to
You feel lost in time, you've got no words to rhyme
No more charms, no more spells to protect you
Oh can't you see the lies in front of you
Your journey ends so far, and still the distance
Spins round and round you
Now you cry - give me sanctuary
You scream, but no one listens
Again you cry - give me sanctuary
Until the end I'll fight and die
The engine is hot, and the wind is wild
Come on, darling
Don't tarry
Aren't you weary of dreams and hard-luck schemes?
This'll be our sanctuary
The car is warm from the chill outside that can creep
into your bones
I was trying to remember if I brought everything
But there's nothing that you really own
Caution to the wind
You can never go back again
We have tried for years to play by the rules on the
ladder of success
And I was stepping up to make my first rung and saw this
vision of my brokenness
Since that time, I became an inspector of storm damage
done for life
I've been picking up the pieces of my might-have-beens,
and I hold them up to the light
Far as the East is the from the West
Deeper than the deepest ocean
I been running all my life on borrowed feelings
Devoid of emotion
The windshield wipers are counting time
Too heavy for us to carry
Was that a whisper of the Holy Ghost?

In te, Domine, speravi (In You, Lord, have I trusted)
Non confundar in aeternum (Let me not be damned for eternity)

Judex crederis (In our Judge we believe)
Libera me Domine (Free me, Lord)
Libera me Domine de morte aeterna (Free me, Lord, from everlasting death)
In die illa tremenda (On that terrible day)
Quando caeli movendi sunt (When the heavens shall be moved)
Caeli et terra (The heavens and earth)
Dum veneris judicare (When Though shall come to judge the world)
O, salutaris hostia (Oh Saviour, saving victim)
Quae caeli pandis ostium (Who opens the gate of heaven)
Bella premunt hostilia (Our enemies besiege us)
Da robur, fer auxilium (Give us strength, bring us aid)
Sit sempiterna gloria (May you always be praised)

Juste Judex ultionis (Righteous Judge of vengeance)
Ante diem rationis (Before the day of reckogning)
On dawn of the day I arose to the thunder again
the pounding in my head
it doesn't seem to phase me
how every scream the pretend not to hear echoes through me
standing, complacently waiting
I try to tell myself
our lives are worth more than this
so give me a chance to take it all back,
I'll show you that I'm worth more than your pittance or pity
it's a spit in the face
so don't even try to explain
the earth shakes beneath my feet
and as these buildings
they crumble around me
I call out if you can hear me
come and let me out,
oh please break me out!
and give me sanctuary
you know this whole world knows
you won't be satisfied 'til you fill up another cemetery
it's all a game to you
we won't be fooled by you into thinking that it's easy,
nobody said this would be easy to swallow or process or fake
and dark will be the day when I elude their desires
Is there a place on earth
Where men could leave in peace.
With no frontier to fight for,
No treasure to keep.
I imagine a wealthy land
Feeding men 'till the end of times.
It seems so unreal,
Once I see it, it all disappear.
This land in my head, we'll find it one day.
Even it takes eternity.
This land in my dreams, we could reach all together.
And so it will become... our sanctuary.
There must be some countries
Where violence doesn't exists
A nation of true freedom
Never been controlled by kings.
My friends follow me on this land
To breathe the air of liberty
I know we're so close this time

You know
It's kinda fucked up but
It's kinda like you're born to lose, you know what I mean?
Stallion, get your own nigga
Coke boy
Montana
You already know that
All this money I be squaring eh
You already know that
All this money I be squaring eh
All this money I be squaring eh
Bring your love baby, I'mma bring my shine
Bring the drugs baby, I'mma bring my pain
You already know that
All this money I be squaring eh
All this money I be squaring eh
I don't know what's what
I never get it
Or get it and lose it
I mean it's sanctuary baby
You know what they say
It's the game of life
We hungry the playa twice
You heard
A car, big mansion in the desert
Tryina make a deal with the devil
I wonder though
Born to lose, ain't it?
Rules of engaging
Glued to the pavement
Send it all
My first flip was when the needle hit my vein
Lost at odds is when the drugs fix the pain
Pray for me tatted on my neck
Fuck money, I was dyin for my respect
I was higher getting whipped
Was a way of life
Stranded on the block
Fiends buying worth, only thing in sight
Had to pay in life
Mama working 3 job, father leaning, he high
My home boy on the run, he hot
Montana!
You already know that
All this money I be squaring eh
You already know that
All this money I be squaring eh
All this money I be squaring eh
Bring your love baby, I'mma bring my shine
Bring the drugs baby, I'mma bring my pain
You already know that
All this money I be squaring eh
All this money I be squaring eh
Head shot, been in doubt
God got a plan for you
Bounce back, hit the block
OG got them grams for you
Get it on your own, nobody gave a hand to you
Now you hot, spinning ball shows, 30 grand for you
God protect the child, deck the hall is on
Almost lost it all for everything he own
Put that on everything
Thought I knew it all but I ain't know anything
Get it with my dog, had to get my weight up
Flip the K's up
Turn around homie, lift your grades up
Never put my legs up
I'm working out, it's working out
They wonder how
Hundred mouth, want a nigga gunnin til the sun is up
You already know that
All this money I be squaring eh
You already know that
All this money I be squaring eh
All this money I be squaring eh
Bring your love baby, I'mma bring my shine
Bring the drugs baby, I'mma bring my pain
You already know that
All this money I be squaring eh
My eyes Betray me Reason Escapes me
I Found Myself in the Wilderness Again
I believe some things, they can never change
Its good to know that your love is one of those things
You said that I can never wear my welcome out

CHORUS
I come to the Sanctuary I lay down all the weight I carry
Surrendering every single part of me
The one who knows all my secrets and finding all the broken pieces you give to me
Give to me another second chance
__________________________________________________
You go before me your hand restores me
And in your light my idols turn to dust
Spirit is willing always reminding
All I have is your grace and thats enough
I know that Ive been here a thousand times before
CHORUS
You kindness and your mercy bring my innocence to me
And I find myself again when I fall down at your feet
