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 and 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 echos in the splitting horizon

Calling to the night
