Sanctuary
Wishmasters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up to the kindness
Trying to be modest
She has saved me for another days
Freed wounded mind swearing loyalty to me
To all who I have in my heart
I want to be free

Get rid of chains which were destroying my soul
Running through sunlight I feel the new hope
My wings are growing again
I'll never be slave of dark angels in shadows
Whispering their poisoned promising words
I live in my sanctuary

Sister's love healed all pain
Helping me find new way
This is my home in a green meadow
Memories and my past buried forever in dust
I will live till the end of times
Now I am free

Get rid of chains which were destroying my soul
Running through sunlight I feel the new hope
My wings are growing again
I'll never be slave of dark angels in shadows
Whispering their poisoned promising words
I live in my sanctuary

Get rid of chains which were destroying my soul
Running through sunlight I feel the new hope
My wings are growing again
I'll never be slave of dark angels in shadows




Whispering their poisoned promising words
I live in my sanctuary
