Lyrics Answering the Call - Dream Theater

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 men
No longer vilified
Where the air will shine
Heart and soul, one mind
Eliminating 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 mothers 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 in knowing love and peace
When will the long held truth be cast aside
Embrace our fellow men
No longer vilified
Where the air will shine
Heart and soul, one mind
Eliminating all
Answering the call
Fight or flight, we're threatening
Hidden thoughts are deafening
Your guilt feeding the flame
Tearful knowing it′s a lie
Desired mind just past you by
Ritual's 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 writings on the wall
Will you wager your life?
Where the air will shine
Heart and soul, one mind
Walk the higher ground
There you will be found
Eliminating all
Answering the call
Answering the call
