Sanctuary

You look for sanctuary
But the church door's locked all night
Nothing sacred, nothing gained
Altar boy killed the candle light
The inner sanctum serves only to sanction
That ain't no priest; he got no collar
He'll turn you in for a silver dollar
You need sanctuary
A shelter from the pain you caused
A dry bed, a warm hearth
A candle in the window

Sanctuary
Sanctuary
A candle in the window
To welcome you home

Between womb and tomb
What's left to keep you warm?
No faith, no hope, only
Power and glory
Sanctimony of marriage
Is like an empty baby carriage

Fire is strong but blood in stronger, and
Life is long but death is longer

Sanctuary
Sanctuary
A candle in the window
To welcome you home

Life is long; death is longer, and
Death is strong but love is stronger

Sanctuary
Sanctuary
A candle in the window
To welcome you home

A candle in the window
To welcome you home
