About

The second song off their 2021 album ‘A View from the Top of the World’, ‘Answering The Call’ speaks about love, guilt, truth, and the dark past you choose to forget and that you would rather move on and see the beauty in us all.

Answering the Call Lyrics

[Verse 1]
White walls glisten
Empires, crimson
Aching within
Raging fire
Sovereign, asphyxiate
No conscience
A solemn state
Misguide, indoctrinate
Accepted long held views

[Pre-Chorus]
When will there be a day when all of us
Trust in love and peace?
Burns bright for us
When will the long-held truth be cast aside?
Embrace our fellow man, no longer vilified

[Chorus]
Radiant we'll shine
Heart and soul, one mind
Illuminating all
Answering the call

[Verse 2]
Decisions by which to act
Programmed, no turning back
Call upon a switch turned on
An ultimate price to pay
Weeping mother, too late to cry
Hold the truth, can't ignore the lie
Time to look it in the eye

[Pre-Chorus]
When will there be a day when all of us
Trust and know in love and peace?
When will the long held truth be cast aside?
Embrace our fellow man, no longer vilified

[Chorus]
Radiant we'll shine
Heart and soul, one mind
Illuminating all
Answering the call

[Bridge]
Fight or flight, both threatening
Hidden thoughts are deafening
Your guilt feeding the flame
Tearful knowing it's a lie
Zion might just past you by
Rituals your funeral pyre
Scars you can't erase
If you choose to face
There is beauty in us all
Walk the higher ground
There you will be found
The writing's on the wall
Will you wager your life?

[Chorus]
Radiant we'll shine
Heart and soul, one mind
Walk the higher ground
There you will be found
Illuminating all
Answering the call
Answering the call
