Biography

Heavy Metal band formed in Seattle in 1985, was a pet discovery of Megadeth guitarist Dave Mustaine. He helped get the band signed to CBS/Epic Records, produced their first album, and took them on the road with Megadeth. The band consisted of vocalist Warrel Dane, guitarists Lenny Rutledge and Sean Blosl, bassist Jim Sheppard, and drummer Dave Budbill; after their second album, Sanctuary disbanded, with Dane and Sheppard going on to form Nevermore. *P.S. Jeff Loomis sent a tape to metal band Sanctuary when he heard they had lost their guitarist. He got the job, but it was not slated to be a long-lasting one. The group broke up two months later in 1991. However, as the ashes of Sanctuary were clearing, Loomis, along with two other members of the group, formed the band Nevermore.

LYRICS

[Written by: L. Rutledge & W. Dane]
I've passed into the afterworld
To a place where light can't intrude
I bear this curse transcending time
My pain denies me your truths

Dreaming to be free, yet damned to eternity
Dreams can set me free for awhile
Chained to this burning, yet only a child
My soul must feed, their blood has made me King

Look deep in my eyes
And see the calm before the
Storm winds of the damned are unveiled
And so with your blood
I feed and quell my hunger
The boy Pharaoh's curse is passed on

Screams of dying, I am back from beyond
Mock my religion, by the power of the God's I am strong

Rebirth through fire shall hold your fears at bay
See in my ancient eyes
Rip through my veil of disguise

Prowl in the darkness, pierce your throat
And your life-force is drained
Now my disciple, I take you and make you my slave

Rebirth through fire can hold your fears at bay
See in my ancient eyes
Rip through my veil of disguise
I have survived the centuries
Waiting for the mankind's demise

Surrender to me, and no longer live in terror
Give into me, or live your life in fear

I will dominate the likes of you
I will hunt you with the rising moon
Just one look from me and you are hypnotized
Frozen by the spell within my eyes
I'm ordained to reign

As I see the sun rise on these ancient sands
My immortal gift lies dying in your hands
