The Calling

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah hey! Yeah hey! [Verse 1] A cry shivers the night, a voice in agony That shrieks above the trees In a land where no one comes In a land where spirits dwell Hear their fatal screams The old man clutches his heart As he looks to the window He knows his time has come The woman stands in the dark Her hair is wet as the snow Nightmares just begun [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Fates Warning is heard Run shivers up and down the spine Of those who believe The old and decrepit have seen They mourn in the night Young and restless can't conceive Moon looks through the drifting storm Thunder cracks the sky She screams through out the night The laughing magpie spreads his wings And looks you in the eye And laughs at you in spite Ha ha ha ha [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Spirit of innocence take me away Dancing her pitiful ritual She's stalking her prey The bard and the banshee Sound a harmonious wail Predestined hour has come Here they come! [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] The old man wakes with the dawn Sweat upon his brow, he casts the spell Father O'Reilly found in the moors The people mourn, hear the church's bell Moon looks through the drifting storm Thunder cracks the sky, and she screams, yeah The laughing magpie spreads his wings And looks you in the eye, and laughs Ha ha! [Chorus] The spirit of innocence take me away Dancing her pitiful ritual She's stalking her prey [?] The bard and the banshee Sound a harmonious wail Predestined hour has come [Outro] The banshee
