Lyrics Sainthood and Sanctuary - Aviators

Sainthood and Sanctuary

Safe from an early grave
But death feels closer still
When does the human soul cave
To find itself a kill
Promised a crown of glory
Fought for an equal stand
But fortune would never find me
In this blood red land
Why have I given my heart
I’ve fallen so far
Because now the future scares me
Why am I broken and small
I’d sacrifice all
For sainthood and sanctuary
After I sought protection
The saviors broke my bones
Lost streets that I remember
Now lie here alone
Mantras of greater purpose
End up left behind
The faithful don’t deserve this
Desperate and blind
Why have I given my heart
I’ve fallen so far
Because now the future scares me
Why am I broken and small
I’d sacrifice all
For sainthood and sanctuary
I would give anything
To know I’m not alone
I’m tired of suffering
When I once had a home
Fallen graces
Familiar faces
Never look like mine
Rings of fire
And holy water
Never turn back time
Why do I
Have many questions
Intel I can’t find
Still unsure of
My mind’s selection
To trust my fallen kind
Why have I given my heart
I’ve fallen so far
Because now the future scares me
Why am I broken and small
I’d sacrifice all
For sainthood and sanctuary
Why have I given my heart
I’ve fallen so far
Because now the future scares me
Why am I broken and small
I’d sacrifice all
For sainthood and sanctuary
I would give anything
To know I’m not alone
I’m tired of suffering
When I once had a home
