[Verse 1:] Shouting that I serve you not I torn you from your sleep I hold your hand in dismay Assuaging your desperate sight We stare at the hills below Into the azure of tonight A crimson flash shoots through my eyes And from within my demon cries
[Chorus:] My burden is to shelter you I preach to you to apprehend That every teardrop on your face Is not self-evident Now my fulfillment is Achieved I seize the day You have lost all that you believed My Beloved Sanctuary
[Verse 2:] You grasp my hand we run away Black clouds shape in the sky The filthy blackness of your soul And the sable in your eyes Now tell me what you really need Is it your precious god Not even he bestows you heed Open your eyes to see the fraud
[Bridge:] Run faster run faster I scream as you cry Impostor impostor I shout into the sky
[Chorus:] My burden is to shelter you I preach to you to apprehend That every teardrop on your face Is not self-evident Now my fulfillment is Achieved I seize the day I remember how you were called My Beloved Sanctuary
[Leads: Schaferberger & Kötterl]
[Bridge:] Run faster run faster I scream as you cry Impostor impostor I shout into the sky Run faster run faster I scream as you cry Impostor impostor I shout into the sky
[Chorus:] My burden is to shelter you I preach to you to apprehend That every teardrop on your face Is not self-evident Now my fulfillment is Achieved I seize the day You have lost all that you believed My Beloved Sanctuary
