In the dead of night, I slipped away I left my home, my own country For political views, they persecuted me Freedom for all, democracy
To set my people free Got to find a way From the grip of tyranny Got to get away
Give to me, sanctuary Give to me, sanctuary
As dusk casts a shadow, my fate had dawned In this holy shrine, I pray to the Lord Within these walls, to fulfill my plight For what I believe, I must fight the good fight
To set my people free Got to find a way From the grip of tyranny Got to get away
Give to me, sanctuary Give to me, sanctuary
Prisoners of conscience, see the country's shame Faceless politicians, playing power games
Out of light comes darkness, out of pleasure comes pain We must fight against oppression, time and time again
The sands of time are running low This holy sanctuary, my home no more Now I'll die, your soul bleeds to death Now I await, my passing breath
To set my people free Got to find a way From the grip of tyranny Got to get away
Give to me, sanctuary Give to me, sanctuary Give to me, sanctuary Give to me, sanctuary
