Sanctuary

In the heart of the dark
He won't be satisfied
The devil wanders round in silence
Till he's drunk somebody dry
And when your time has come
The chosen one
Will rise from underground
He will caress you and incise you
He will not make a sound

There's no writing on the signpost
No warning will you find
It's going to take a stronger will
To save your little mind

Who will give you sanctuary
And slay your vampires in the night
Who will shelter you
And be your guardian angel
If you let me darling I will be your light

Did you walk in your sleep
All the way to New Orleans
Why did you make the sign of the cross
Screaming "wake me from this dream"
There's blood upon the bedpost
And it will not wash away
It makes you wonder why those shadows
In your room they will not fade

Now your church it has been haunted
There's no missionary here
It's going to take a stronger will
To make him disappear

Who will give you sanctuary
And slay your vampires in the night
Who will shelter you and be your guardian
Be your guardian angel
If you let me darling I will hold the candle
If you let me darling
I will be I will be your light
