1) Sinner is a German heavy metal band formed in 1980 by vocalist and bassist Mat Sinner (Goddess Shiva, Primal Fear). Their most recent album, 'Mask Of Sanity' was released in January of 2007.

Based in Baden-Württemberg, Sinner released their first album, Wild'N'Evil' in 1982. This album, along with the next two ('Fast Decision' and 'Danger Zone') were raw affairs, having little in common with the melodic metal they would later become known for. After many personnel changes, the band saw the addition of Accept's Herman Frank on guitars and the release of 'Touch Of Sin' in 1985. Frank would leave before the next album, 1986's 'Comin' Out Fighting'.

1987 saw the release of 'Dangerous Charm', a much more melodic album than previous efforts, but shortly after this the band took a break and wouldn't be heard of again for five years.

In 1990 Mat Sinner released a solo album called 'Back To The Bullet' with a completely new band. This same band reformed Sinner and released 'No More Alibis' in 1992, an album far heavier than anything Sinner had released before. This renewed vigour coupled with songwriting that far exceeded the band's previous releases not only carried on but strengthened with 'Respect' in 1994 and 'Bottom Line' in 1995, the latter staying in the Japanese national charts for five weeks. Since the reformation the band's reputation had improved immensely, touring as support for bands such as Mr. Big and Savatage as well as headlining their own German tour and releasing a live album. Sinner were to reach even higher peaks though, releasing two hugely successful albums with 'Judgement Day' in 1997 and 'The Nature Of Evil' in 1998 before touring Europe as support for rock giants Deep Purple. 'The Nature Of Evil' was the band's most successful album to date, reaching 63 in the German album charts.

In 1998 Mat Sinner and Tom Naumann, who had been with Sinner since their reformation in 1992 formed Primal Fear with ex-Gamma Ray vocalist Ralf Scheepers. Mat Sinner has been involved as a driving force in both Sinner and Primal Fear to this day.

In 2000 the band saw its first line-up change in five years as several members left, including guitarist Tom Naumann while ex-Helloween and Gamma Ray's Uli Kusch filled in on drums for 'The End Of Sanctuary'. However, in 2003 the previous 1995-1999 line-up renewed itself and released 'There Will Be Execution' before going quiet again for four years. In the past nine years the band had released six albums, each as good, if not better than the last, proving to be the band's most successful period. This success would continue, as after releasing two more albums with Primal Fear and an album with his pre-Sinner band Goddess Shiva, Mat Sinner brought Sinner back with mainstays Tom Naumann (guitar) and Frank Rössler (keyboards) to release 'Mask Of Sanity' in 2007. This album spawned two popular singles in 'Diary Of Evil' and 'Black' and included a faithful rendition of Thin Lizzy's 'Please Don't Go'.

2) Sinner was British NWOBHM band formed in 1978 which released one single Need Your Love / Beggar / God's in His Heaven (1979).

3) Polish death metal band.

4) Blackened hardcore from Niagara, Ontario, Canada. https://sinnerculture.bandcamp.com/

The end of sanctuary
Sinner Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm trapped in this silence
I'm feeling so cold
No prayer and no future
No warning - no hope

there is no tomorrow
And I can't see the sun
I light up this candle

And I'm waiting fot the sacred son

the bond of holy
Living at the end of sanctuary
I never thought that tale's reality
You won't believe, what did I see?
The end of sanctuary

the world will run scared
No one is prepared
It comes out of the blue
And destroy the sacred world

the bond of holy
Living at the end of sanctuary
I never thought that tale's reality

You won't believe, what did I see?
The end of sanctuary

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sinner's song "The End of Sanctuary" speak of hopelessness and despair, painting a picture of a world and possibly an individual who has lost faith in the future, and no longer sees any hope or possibility for redemption. The opening lines, "I'm trapped in this silence, I'm feeling so cold" suggest a sense of isolation and disconnection from the world, with the image of a candle being lit indicating an attempt to connect with something greater, something that will bring meaning and purpose back into life. However, the subsequent lines "No prayer and no future, no warning - no hope" suggest that this attempt has been unsuccessful, with faith having been lost entirely.

The song continues to speak of an impending doom, with the lyrics "there is no tomorrow and I can't see the sun" painting a picture of a world that has been consumed by darkness and destruction. The imagery of the "end of sanctuary" suggests a loss of safety, with the world outside having become unpredictable and dangerous. Despite the hopelessness of the situation, the chorus maintains a sense of defiance and strength, with the repeated lines "the bond of holy, living at the end of sanctuary" suggesting a determination to continue fighting and to cling onto whatever values or beliefs remain.

Overall, "The End of Sanctuary" is a powerful song that speaks to the human need for hope and faith, even in the midst of the darkest and most difficult of circumstances.
