The Call Lyrics

Standing at a crossroads, caught between steel and earth

The promise of a change, wondering my worth

Blood will always follow, use it to dye the bricks

Disregard the endured laughter, wipe off all that stale lipstick

Winter came and went, but I'm still feeling cold

Put your elbows on the table, no matter what you're told

3 nails through each palm and a screw into each leg

Wrap my body in cheap fabric for now it's time to beg

Baptized in gray water and raised on tainted land

The world grew up around me with a rage beneath the sand

Blame fate and thank the lord, the bricks were bound to fall

'Cause no matter how long I listen I will never, ever, ever, hear

The call

Wrap 3 fingers of your hand

Hide your treasures under sand

Scan horizons for the land

And crawl

Don't hold your breath for God's plan

Can't rely on some old man

To provide direction and the call

Wrap 3 fingers of your hand

Hide your treasures under sand

Scan horizons for the land

And crawl

Don't hold your breath for God's plan

Can't rely on some old man

To provide direction and the call

I will never hear the call

I will never hear the call

Ohh-ohh-ohhh

I will never hear the call

I will never hear the call

Ohh-ohh-ohhh-ohh-oh
