Answering the Call - Dream Theater

Lyrics by：James LaBrie

Composed by：John Petrucci/Jordan Rudess/Mike Mangini/John Myung/James LaBrie

White walls glisten

Empires crimson

Aching within

Raging fire

Sovereign asphyxiate

No conscience

A solemn state

Misguide indoctrinate

Accepted long held views

When will there be a day when all of us

Trust in love and peace

Burns bright for us

When will the long-held truth be cast aside

Embrace our fellow man no longer vilified

Radiant we'll shine

Heart and soul one mind

Illuminating all

Answering the call

Decisions by which to act

Programmed no turning back

Call upon a switch turned on

An ultimate price to pay

Weeping mother too late to cry

Hold the truth can't ignore the lie

Time to look it in the eye

When will there be a day when all of us

Trust and know in love and peace

When will the long held truth be cast aside

Embrace our fellow man no longer vilified

Radiant we'll shine

Heart and soul one mind

Illuminating all

Answering the call

Fight or flight both threatening

Hidden thoughts are deafening

Your guilt feeding the flame

Tearful knowing it's a lie

Zion might just past you by

Rituals your funeral pyre

Scars you can't erase

If you choose to face

There is beauty in us all

Walk the higher ground

There you will be found

The writing's on the wall

Will you wager your life

Radiant we'll shine

Heart and soul one mind

Walk the higher ground

There you will be found

Illuminating all

Answering the call

Answering the call
