A Call to Awake (The Quest) Songtext
von Orphaned Land

"On to the lands we must go to warn all"
Said the snake, to the eagle and the lion
Beg them to repent so they might be saved
From the fury and the anger that shall claim them
And so they set sail across the land and seas alike
In a quest to avoid the settings of the sun

God′s rage is true
He urges you
To awake
Awake


Thou has stolen, betrayed
And worshiped pagan gods
Thou must awake, thy lost faith to be saved
And so spoke the prophets
As the mob has gathered round
They said their empire would soon crumble and fall down

Thou art our brothers, hear our call this day
We come not to see your end
But to revive we pray

God's rage is true
He urges you
To awake
Awake

"Where did these three come from?"
Asked crowd anxiously
Furious and confused at the same time
Surely these people are lying or jesting
Either way, they are here to cause harm


"You just be on your way", said the mob as a warning
Or else all will break loose
"It′s all a matter of choice" said the eagle, though they really didn't
Have much to choose from
