Sanctuary
Aurae Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Complete within my domain
How could you begin to intrude
This wild you try to claim
Will be the end of you

Why can't you see?
Made to defend with my life
I won't give up
You are the threat
I'll see to it that you are dealt with
Born to protect this place
And the beauty with in it

Why aren't these times easier
Vast monuments to men ablaze
Who can predict
What nightmare will come to surface next?

Living on the edge
I can't stand it

I won't give up
You are the threat
I'll see to it that you are dealt with
Born to protect this place
And the beauty with in it

This is it
You've done it
I'll be sure
To walk on your grave

I won't give up
You are the threat
I'll see to it that you are dealt with




Born to protect this place
And the beauty with in it
