Sanctuary Lyrics by Overkill

The Grinding Wheel

2017

[Verse 1]
Out of winter
Came a warhorse of steel
I've never killed a woman before
But I know how it feels

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you'd have gone insane
If you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for
Sanctuary from the law

[Verse 2]
I met up with a stranger last night
To keep me alive
He spends all his money
On gambling and guns to survive

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you'd have gone insane
If you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for
Sanctuary from the law

[Chorus]
So, give me sanctuary from the law
And I'll be all right
Just give me sanctuary from the law
And love me tonight
Tonight

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]
I know you'd have gone insane
If you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for
Sanctuary from the law

[Verse 3]
I can laugh at the wind
I can howl at thе rain
Down in the canyon
Or out on the plain

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you'd have gonе insane
If you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for
Sanctuary from the law

[Chorus]
So, give me sanctuary from the law
And I'll be all right
Just give me sanctuary from the law
And love me tonight
Tonight

[Outro]
Love me tonight
