Lyrics
The Call
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The sound of footsteps approaching.
A storm of shadows reveal a figure forlorn.
Whispering voices that slither into our ears, as temptation sings and beckons us to fall.
Under the skin, the blood begins to crawl.
Rush to the heart; drain it from the soul.
Come face to face with all you can't escape.
Will you hold your ground or turn away?
Release your inhibitions and answer to the call.
The sun shines down to reveal a true image.
Salvation sings and shows us all we know.
The road is treacherous and lonely, filled with the empty inventions of the soul.
Under disillusion, run from confrontation or do we heed the judgment call?
Release your inhibitions and answer to the call.
Leave behind this shell of flesh and bone.
In the end we will answer to the call.
The burning question remains how much is too much to give?
Do your wings have the strength to carry on?
When we see redemption, how long will we wait for deliverance.
It takes everything to keep from falling now.
Let go.
Release your inhibitions and answer to the call.
Leave behind this shell of flesh and bone.
In the end we will answer to the call.
