1.) A metal band from Cleveland, OH that formed in 2003. Originally started as a one man project of Jamie Walters (uses the moniker Athenar), though since then Bob Zeiger (uses the moniker Count Zigar) has joined on drums. As of 2012, Shaun Venek has became the guitarist for live shows but not an official member. Their sound is a combination of speed metal, punk and black metal and can be described as a mixture of Motörhead, Venom, early Discharge and early Bathory. Many label the band as black n roll.

2.) Midnight (Born John Patrick Jr. McDonald April 29, 1962 - July 8, 2009) was an American musician mostly known for being the vocalist of Crimson Glory. Midnight joined Crimson Glory in the early 1980’s, in 1986 their debut album was issued by Roadrunner Records. It took the newcomers only a couple of years to surpass their debut with an astounding sophomore effort, 1988’s Transcendence, a joint release on MCA/Roadrunner. In 1991 they signed to Atlantic Records and released Strange & Beautiful, an album which showed a commercial switch in the band’s sound. Not long after the latest release, Midnight left the band, leading to Crimson Glory’s eventual demise. The other members dispersed and became involved with various other acts. All the while, Midnight remained out of sight. Midnight, however, reappeared a few years later with a low-budget EP, which explored a more acoustic direction (only 500 copies were made). Once again, Midnight vanished and in late 2004 it was announced that he had joined forces with Black Lotus Records to release his full-length debut solo album - Sakada.

After the release of “Sakada” Midnight joined forces with a group of musicians including Matt LaPorte (RIP) who also played the ex-Savatage frontman´s band Jon Oliva’s Pain, and recorded, in addition to the “All Souls Midnight” disc, material for a covers disc and a 3-cd box of original songs, which remains unreleased.

On July 8, 2009, Midnight died of stomach aneurysm at the age of 47.

Lucifer's Sanctuary
Midnight Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You came down here tonight
Don't try to run and hide
Once you're locked in you'll never get out
Out of hell, out of hell
This is my throne and I'll make you burn
Lucifer's sanctuary - no one will come for me
Lucifer's sanctuary - it's all I'll ever need
Lucifer's sanctuary - this hell you'll never leave

You're here to serve my needs
To be my slave and beast
Once you're locked in you'll never get out
Out of hell, out of hell
This is my throne and I'll make you burn
Now your soul lies here
I've made it very clear
Once you're locked in you'll never get out

Out of hell, out of hell
This is my throne and I'll make you burn

You came down here tonight
You willingly arrived in hell at my domain

Don't try to run and hide
You cannot escape from me and my wrath

Once you're locked in you'll never get out
There is no escape once I have claimed you as mine

Out of hell, out of hell
You will not leave this place

This is my throne and I'll make you burn
I have complete control over this realm and will punish you accordingly

Lucifer's sanctuary - no one will come for me
Hell is solely my domain and there is no one who can save you from me

This is my ultimate power and the only thing I desire

You will remain trapped in my domain forever

To be my slave and beast

Now your soul lies here
Your spirit is now trapped in this underworld
