Sainthood and Sanctuary is a sorrowful song of betrayal and the extreme measures one would take just for the promise of safety. In the year 2220, the song's narrator has given into the false promises of his city's ruling cult in the hopes of finding safety in their temple. Instead of salvation, he finds himself trapped and constantly spied upon as his desire for safety in righteousness leaves him alone once again. Musically, this one is a weird rock/acoustic/alternative fusion that ends up being kind of an experiment in strange 3/4 drum lines. It's dark, yet soft, and serves to hint towards the more unique styles to come in the rest of the album.

Safe from an early grave
But death feels closer still
When does the human soul cave
To find itself a kill
Promised a crown of glory
Fought for an equal stand
But fortune would never find me
In this blood red land
Why have I given my heart
I've fallen so far
Because now the future scares me
Why am I broken and small
I'd sacrifice all
For sainthood and sanctuary
I would give anything
To know I'm not alone
I'm tired of suffering
When I once had a home
After I sought protection
The saviors broke my bones
Lost streets that I remember
Now lie here alone
Mantras of greater purpose
End up left behind
The faithful don't deserve this
Desperate and blind
Fallen graces
Familiar faces
Never look like mine
Rings of fire
And holy water
Never turn back time
Why do I
Have many questions
Intel I can't find
Still unsure of
My mind's selection
To trust my fallen kind
