[edit] Lyrics

Through the night to the day
When everything is gone
Carry this soul away from the dry lands

In the sun we see fighting over lines
All our dreams and wishes we send home for safe keeping
Fighting for what’s right

Calling to the night
To dream again in the light
Waiting for a storm to rise and
Feel the isolation fleeting

Calling to the night
To be or not to be fighting here
Leaving without you, leaving my soul behind
Calling to the night
Colors of kodachrome fade with time

Calling to the night
For us, for every single life
All the ashes of men remain as a perfect memory
Calling to the night

But the heart will remain
As a silhouette of time
Hear the ringing echos in the splitting horizon

Calling to the night
