Sanctuary

In the dead of night, I slipped awayI left my home, my own countryFor political views, they persecuted meFreedom for all, democracyTo set my people freeGot to find a wayFrom the grip of tyrannyGot to get awayGive to me, sanctuaryGive to me, sanctuaryAs dusk casts a shadow, my fate had dawnedIn this holy shrine, I pray to the LordWithin these walls, to fulfill my plightFor what I believe, I must fight the good fightTo set my people freeGot to find a wayFrom the grip of tyrannyGot to get awayGive to me, sanctuaryGive to me, sanctuaryPrisoners of conscience, see the country's shameFaceless politicians, playing power gamesOut of light comes darkness, out of pleasure comes painWe must fight against oppression, time and time againThe sands of time are running lowThis holy sanctuary, my home no moreNow I'll die, your soul bleeds to deathNow I await, my passing breathTo set my people freeGot to find a wayFrom the grip of tyrannyGot to get awayGive to me, sanctuaryGive to me, sanctuaryGive to me, sanctuaryGive to me, sanctuary
