Sanctuary |
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 |
To ask it shed it’s light upon the reason why? |
