Strawbs - The Call To Action lyrics

Cousins 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 d**h 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 d**h 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?
