Lyrics

Through the night, to the day When everything is gone Carry this soul away from the dry lands In the sun we see, fighting over lines All our dreams and wishes We send home for safe keeping Fighting for what’s right Calling to the night, to dream Again in the light Waiting for a storm to rise Feel the isolation fleeting Calling to the night, to be, or not to be fighting here Leaving without you, leaving my soul behind Calling to the night, colors of Kodachrome fade with time Calling to the night, for us, for every single life All the ashes of men remain as a perfect memory Calling to the night But the heart will remain, as a silhouette of time Hear the ringing echoes in the splitting horizon Calling to the night
