Pallas - Sanctuary Lyrics
We talked of in the night?Is this the sanctuary?I must try to do what's rightA cold light shines from the watchtower windowChill wind scratches out my faceBlown between the barsThat hold this placeIs this the sanctuaryWe talked of in the night?Is this the sanctuary?I must try to do what's rightTwilight howl, the searchlight owlWire fingers grip the airFreedom only comesTo those who dareIs this the sanctuaryWe talked of in the night?Is this the sanctuary?Where all our hopes have turned to stoneNothing left to lose but life itselfNowhere left to go but through the wireCross the compound's barren waste with dreadThe sun shall rise upon the free and deadThe free and the dead, oohRun (run)Hide (hide)But you can't flee what lies insideSleep (sleep)Dream (dream)But only to the sound of screamsFear (fear)Doubt (doubt)That save for death, there's no way outSeek (seek)Find (find)The free and promised land that lies nearbyAnd... and...and...and...And though I wear the yellow badge of hateI walk a free man through the opening gateStill ghostly figures line the wire in a dazeNo need for flowers here, there are no gravesAnd though I wear the yellow badge of hateI walk a free man past the padlocked gatesI pause to look the searchlight in the eyeTo ask it shed it's light upon the reason why?
