Sanctuary
Metalwar Lyrics

The lyrics to Metalwar's song "Sanctuary" depict a story of a protagonist who finds themselves in a mysterious and dark place. The opening lines, "Wondering at night, a light blinds my eyes, shadows go round and wait for the time," suggest a sense of confusion and disorientation. The singer encounters a queen who seems to be trying to push them away, shedding tears that reveal their fate. It is unclear why the queen wants them gone, but her actions only serve to intrigue the singer.

As the song progresses, the singer is faced with the presence of insane eyes staring at them wherever they go. Aged hands touch their head in an attempt to awaken their soul. The line "The ship comes back to take me away from my cave" suggests the possibility of escape, as if the singer is being rescued from their predicament.

The chorus emphasizes the idea of finding solace and freedom in a place called Sanctuary. The singer has reached a point where they no longer wish to fight and have given up control over their mind. The line "I can't control my mind now that is the masters on theatre of pain" suggests that they are now under someone else's control, trapped in a theatrical display of suffering.

The final lines of the lyrics reveal the presence of many faces on the wall crying out for freedom and their lives. This image implies that the singer is not alone in their quest for escape and that others are also trapped in this strange sanctuary, longing for liberation.
