Sanctuary

from Eschaton by Ian Rushton

lyrics

Woke this morning in a sweat, from a dream I can’t forget,
In this dream I was dying.
Shaken now I catch my breath, having seen a kind of death,
That was cruel and terrifying.

My body burned, the sky was red,
I longed for water but the rivers were dead,
I ran for cover from a poison rain,
While Earth cried out in anguish and pain.
Sanctuary, sanctuary
Earth cries out with an agonising sound
Sanctuary, sanctuary
Lay down your weapons and think it through again!

I tell myself it’s just a dream, yet I feel a silent scream
growing, and my head is spinning
I tremble as I look around - dying seas, scoured ground,
I realise the nightmare’s just beginning

My body burns, the sky is red,
I long for water but the rivers are dead,
I run for cover from a poison rain,
While Earth cries out in anguish and pain.

Sanctuary, sanctuary
Earth cries out with an agonising sound
Sanctuary, sanctuary
Lay down your weapons and think it through again!
Sanctuary, hear her cry,
Sanctuary, don’t let me die.
