Sainthood and Sanctuary - Aviators

Safe from an early grave

But death feels closer still

When does the human soul cave

To find itself a kill

Promised a crown of glory

Fought for an equal stand

But fortune would never find me

In this blood red land

Why have I given my heart

I’ve fallen so far

Because now the future scares me

Why am I broken and small

I’d sacrifice all

For sainthood and sanctuary

After I sought protection

The saviors broke my bones

Lost streets that I remember

Now lie here alone

Mantras of greater purpose

End up left behind

The faithful don’t deserve this

Desperate and blind

Why have I given my heart

I’ve fallen so far

Because now the future scares me

Why am I broken and small

I’d sacrifice all

For sainthood and sanctuary

I would give anything

To know I’m not alone

I’m tired of suffering

When I once had a home

Fallen graces

Familiar faces

Never look like mine

Rings of fire

And holy water

Never turn back time

Why do I

Have many questions

Intel I can’t find

Still unsure of

My mind’s selection

To trust my fallen kind

Why have I given my heart

I’ve fallen so far

Because now the future scares me

Why am I broken and small

I’d sacrifice all

For sainthood and sanctuary

Why have I given my heart

I’ve fallen so far

Because now the future scares me

Why am I broken and small

I’d sacrifice all

For sainthood and sanctuary

I would give anything

To know I’m not alone

I’m tired of suffering

When I once had a home
