The Call of the Night

The Call of the Night
Music: Askeland Lyrics & Melody: Cox

As I dream there’s a man looking over me
Piercing eyes and a look so surreal
A seeker of souls with discretion for his taking
Could this be the night that he leads me by the hand
I can’t sleep
I can’t awake
I can’t escape
From the power that’s controlling me
I need trust
I need strength
I need faith
For the journey that may be facing me

And I know
It’s too late for turning back
My bridge is burned
I’ve sealed my fate
And there’s no saving me
And I know
The choices I’ve made are with me today
My soul is weary
I’ve made my bed
And in it I’ll forever lie

Set me free
Or rescue me
It’s the call of the night
My soul held hostage in this trance
I’m caught between life and eternity
Walk with me
Or let me be
It’s the call of the night
Am I too late to seek forgiveness
For this spirit of mine

In those eyes lurks eternity awaiting me
A trial by fire through a dauntless bed of lies
A rite of passage for a soul that’s been bleeding me
Redemption tethered to the anchor of my life
I want mercy
I want grace
I want amends
For the haunts that have been plaguing me
Give me comfort
Give me release
Give me freedom
From the shameful chains that entangle me

And I know
It’s too late for turning back
My bridge is burned
I’ve sealed my fate
And there’s no saving me
