[Verse 1]
There's a certain feeling known to all
Who hear the sound, the call of morning rising
You're in a mystic space
Can't you feel the force, embrace the chill
Of the wind as it names you?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, can't you see the lies in front of you?
Your journey ends so far and still the distance
Spins 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round you
('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round you)
[Chorus]
Now you cry, "Give me sanctuary!"
You scream but no-one listens
Again you cry, "Give me sanctuary!
Until the end I'll fight and die to be free"
Oh, no sanctuary
[Verse 2]
You're walking halfway in but you're crawling halfway out
There's a void in your mind that you cling to
You feel lost in time
You've got no words to rhyme
No more charms, no more spells to protect you
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, can't you see the lies in front of you?
Your journey ends so far and still the distance
Spins 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round you
('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round you)
[Chorus]
Now you cry, "Give me sanctuary!"
You scream but no-one listens
Again you cry, "Give me sanctuary!
Until the end, I'll fight and die, oh, I've gotta be free"
[Post-Chorus]
(Ah, ah, ah)
No, no sanctuary
(Ah, ah)
No, no, no sanctuary
(Sanctuary)
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
(Sanctuary)
'Round and 'round and 'round and 'round you
('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round you)
Oh, 'round and 'round you
[Chorus]
Now you cry, "Give me sanctuary!"
You scream but no-one listens
So again you cry, "Give me sanctuary!
Until the end, I'll fight and die, yeah, I've gotta be free"
[Post-Chorus]
(Ah, ah, ah)
No, no sanctuary
(Ah, ah, ah)
No, ah, ah, no sanctuary
(Ah, ah, ah)
Ah, ah, no
Ah, no sanctuary
(Ah, ah, ah...)
