The Call to Action - Strawbs

As from the mountaintops they come

By sandstorm desert stretching far

The fall of countless drops of light

The new moon and the crescent star

The silent march of muffled hooves

The gleam of glistening coal black eyes

The darkened blades and shrouded hoods

Beyond the means of compromise

No need to show remorse, regret

Or even shed a silent tear

A vision of the Promised Land

Where death holds no disgrace or fear

Will you heed the call?

Will you heed the call?

Will you heed the call?

As from the newborn land they come

By union state with endless might

The weak find their release in hope

The Bible and the guiding light

The revelation of the soul

Where every man can speak as free

To stand forever side by side

To build a new democracy

No need to show remorse, regret

Or even shed a silent tear

A vision of the Promised Land

Where death holds no disgrace or fear

Will you heed the call?

Will you heed the call?

Will you heed the call?

The humble will inherit

All of God’s own holy grails

But God will not provide for them

When vanity prevails

Will you heed the call?

Will you heed the call?

Will you heed the call?
