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
