Sanctuary II

The world is cruel
The world is wicked
It's I alone whom you can trust
In this whole city
I am your only friend
I who keep you, feed you
Teach you, dress you
I who looked upon you
Without fear
How can I protect you, boy
Unless you always
Stay in here
Away in here?

You are deformed

I am deformed

And you are ugly

And I am ugly

And these are crimes
For witch the world shows little pitty
You do not comprehend

You're my defender

Out there
They'll reville you as a monster

I am a monster

Out there they'll hate and scorn and jeer

Only a monster

Why invite their curses
And their consternation?
Stay in here
Be faithful to me

I'm faithfull

Grateful to me

I'm grateful

Do as I say
Obey
And stay in here
