Where Now Sanctuary
Where Now Sanctuary
To where now do you run
Perused by the Devil or the law
Chased down by the man with the gun
Or fleeing the evil of a war
Where do you now hide
When all the Churches are locked
Once a Sanctuary and a guide
When your World had been rocked
No longer the Sacred safe haven
Of God in the Chancel
No sanctuary found this side of Heaven
When trying to out run the Devil
Even when blood teams down a deluge
No-one now will offer you safe refuge
Flee now and run for the hill
By name or your skin you are the enemy
Even your wife and child they will kill
And anyone who offers you Sanctuary
Outcast now to all once friendly Nations
None now will open up their door
The Devil rides high at every station
All numbered and named by the Beast and the Whore
Take care for the friends you support
Keep silent to which god you may pray
Know you will be turned away at each port
And Sanctimony your only safe refuge that day
Keep silent and blind to what you see
Or become the Stateless eternal refugee
All now are the terrorist suspect
Whether it is them that you flee
Or the life that a Liberator left wrecked
No-one will listen to your plea
Flee and know you will stay
Stateless and be condemned the victim
No good Samaritan will help on your way
Your chance of Sanctuary are quiet slim
Stay and be killed or locked away
Flee and the same you will greet
For no Saviour exists here today
The horror you flee is the one you will meet
No refuge in Sanctum or Sanctum Sanctorum
And a refugee camp is no Sanatorium
All your rights and protections are there
Written and held up by all the Nations United
Flee to find them and they are found nowhere
No Sanctuary for you will ever be sighted
Flee and all the doors are found bolted
No-one will hide you or welcome you in
All Love for a refugee has now halted
To be a victim is now seen a sin
Run now and run for your life
Or stay and see all your family die
The World does not want your trouble and strife
Even when they created it with their lie
There is now only continuing purgatory
For all in need and who seek sanctuary.
