Sanctuary lyrics
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 Give to me, sanctuary
