Sanctuary is the realm of oneness in your head, yet still in a community, separated from society's mind. It's about the love for hardcore, knowing and letting it change your life for the better. This is why I wanted my friend Geoff Mitchell of Deathbed (RIP) on this track. "The sanctuary burns for the true." Might sound cliche, but this is where I stand.
lyrics
The masses praise a war
Preaching murder in the name of progress
...and I cared too much
I've felt you die a thousand times
Find yourself counting back the days
With a knife in your throat
Abandon the love you have made
In this life as a dying dog race
Punish me for what I know
But I can't look away
From your dying faith
Punish me for what I've done
But I can't look away
I'm not the only one
Wire from which you tread
Hangs your tolerance
Never know what this meant
Suffer the cycle of friends
Punish me for what I know
But I can't look away
(From your dying faith)
Punish me for what I've done
But I can't look away
(I'm not the only one)
This love cut short
From truth and greed
Fuels the flame
Found so deep in me
Who the fuck can count on you?
The sanctuary burns for the true
I can see it in your eyes
You don't want a part of this
I can see it in your eyes
You never wanted a part of this
So sad to see this band fade. These lyrics hit home very hard and every instrument melts together in one powerful melancholic, bitter cocktail. When I am cycling in the marshes and the abandoned forest roads, while listening to King Apathy, I feel very connected to the mother that gave birth to us all. Mako's Abs
