A Prayer For Sanctuary lyrics

Like the haunting chants and prayers

To which I've never listened

Thou shalt no longer live in chains

Or ever be imprisoned

Ease my always throbbing heart

I shall no longer falter

As pupae to imagines1

All images must alter

Let thy glory shine on me

Disperse my obfuscation

Hide thy essence in myself

I need assimilation

Stream thyself into my soul

And flood it with thy yearning

Pour thy soul into my shell

Erase my restless burning

[x 2:]

I hear voices of a stranger

I hear voices of a stranger

I hear voices of a stranger

I hear voices in my head, echoing
