Sanctuary (Live 1990)

All right, we're gonna take you back a few years ago
Again to our first album, Refuge. Tonight, this is
A song about life after death. Enter the sanctuary!

And by the moonlight
Low visions born from darkness
The answers shall now be found
And by the moonlight
All will be revealed
Wisdom of the ages
Halls wide brave

I am of the future
Take my fire and release your flame

And so I leave this world
Never to return
My candle has been burned
For deliverance I yearn
Time cannot erase
The mark I leave on time and space
Sanctuary burns
Raging grace
I will live on
Pure energy and perfect knowledge
The eye of the storm
Judgment now awaits for me
Am I born to darkness
Or to light?

I am flying to the sun
Wings are stained with blood
My journey has begun
Am I blessed or am I damned?
Years will melt away
My mortal shell left to decay
The sanctuary learns
Your love and hate
I will live on
Pure energy and perfect knowledge
The eye of the storm
Judgment now awaits for me
Am I born to darkness
Or to light?

Enter the sanctuary

And so I leave this world
Never to return
I am the new life form
I have seen and you will learn
Time cannot erase
My passage through this sacred place
The sanctuary's hand
This is your fate
