1) Sanctuar… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least nine artists with the name Sanctuary:
1) Sanctuary is a heavy metal band founded in Seattle, Washington in 1985 consisting of Warrel Dane (vocals), Lenny Rutledge (guitar), Sean Blosl (guitar), Jim Sheppard (bass), and Dave Budbill (drums). Former Metallica and Megadeth guitarist Dave Mustaine was the influential force in getting the band signed to Epic Records. He produced their first album and played guitar on their cover of Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit. The band was dissolved in 1991, following pressure from Epic Records to fit in with the flourishing Seattle grunge scene. Warrel Dane and Jim Sheppard disagreed with this change, and left to form Nevermore.
In May 2010 Warrel Dane stated that Santuary were to reform with the original line-up to record a new album and tour.

Seasons Of Destruction
Sanctuary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you know me, I am destruction
Conflicts brings, eternal devastation
Kill the war pigs, who deceive the nations
Here this message across the sea of the dead
Will we ever live this dream I have bled
Forgotten future dies, the seasons has begun
To rise again
And in the dark we weep
We cry and we sing, don't let it all begin
These times are seasons of destruction
And each day is a little more cold
Reasons why elude those who structure our lives
So make a change, before it's too late
Look around you see the world that we've made
This grand creation, our human race
No control, no help from above
It's up to mankind, what we live in fear of
Feel this message implanted in your head
We will never live to see the bloodshed
Stop the conflicts coming rise
Before seasons of destruction drag us down
Baptismal fire
And through this mystic dawn
Our minds are free and strong
Born again as one
These times are seasons of destruction
And each day is a little more cold
Reasons why elude those who structure our lives
So make a change, before it's too late
Feel my pain, hear my warning
Kill the war pigs, there's a new age dawning

I am an Obituary fan too. Seen them 4 times ,There is a lack of understanding. Nobody ever listens and understands, the concept of metal. It has become a hatred competition.Metal was once a brotherhood no matter what type it is, or what we listenened to.Just enjoy the music. I am from a time when Metal was Metal. Guess the youth is or wants to become a world of their own. Have to earn the title of a metal head and live it first. .
