Lyrics to the song Sanctuary by the american rock band, Evanescence.
From the album Sanctuary.
Lyrics:
I see the oceans rising
Fire and water
A war has been waging for years and years and ages and eternities
And now I look to the blood red sky
And see what's been raining on all of this chaos and on all of us
An illusion of power, a crumbling tower
A golden calf and a death wish for anyone who dares to see the obvious truth
The power is ours
This is for the ones who gather strength in silence
It isn't over (It isn't over)
This is for the ones who rise against your violence
It isn't over (It isn't over)
Am I strong enough to believe?
'Cause I can't see you but I can feel you there
Sanctuary
Breathe it in, scream it out
No one's coming to save us
It doesn't scare me
I'm with you all the way down
Changed by the pain, we know who we are
This is for the shedding skin that bore your sickness
It isn't over (It isn't over)
This is for the living truth of our resistance
It isn't over
We're taking it over
Sanctuary
Breathe it in, scream it out
No one's coming to save us
It doesn't scare me
I'm with you all the way down
Changed by the pain, we know who we are
All the light in the world
All the love in your heart
Endless lies controlling every mind they infect
And it's still not enough
It's never enough
Sanctuary
No one's coming to save us
Sanctuary
Hold on to what you love
Sanctuary
Breathe it in, scream it out
No one's coming to save us
It doesn't scare me
I'll be with you all the way down
Changed by the pain, we know who we are
***I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING***

Demo 1 Lyrics:
I tried to kill the pain [kill the pain]
But only brought more [so much more]
I lay dying
And Im pouring crimson regret and betrayal
Im dying [Im dying]
Praying [praying]
Bleeding [bleeding]
And screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
Do you remember me? [remember me]
Lost for so long
Will you be on the other side?
Or will you forget me?

Tell me not, Father
That thou hearest of this
Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it
It strains me past the compass of my wits
If in thy wisdom thou canst give no help
Do thou but call my resolution wise
And with this Ill help it presently!
Hold Daughter!

Will I be denied?
