Answering the Call

White walls, glisten Empire's crimson Aching within Raging fires Sovereign, asphyxiate No conscience A sullen state Misguide, indoctrinate Accepted long held views When will there be a day when all of us Trust that love and peace Burns bright for us When will the long held truths be cast aside Embrace our fellow men No longer vilified Radiant we'll shine Heart and soul, one mind Illuminating all Answering the call 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 When will there be a day when all of us Trust in knowing love and peace When will the long held truths be cast aside Embrace our fellow men No longer vilified Radiant we'll shine Heart and soul, one mind Illuminating all Answering the call 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 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? 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
