Heaven Is Calling
At Vance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I look into those eyes
I can't deny the feel
That you're the devil in disguise
And when darkness spreads
The Wings of destiny
I keep runnin blind
Can't you make me see
I know that you
Came to rescue me
But you keep wantin more
More than I can be
I know
You will never run for cover
And I know
You will never take another
Keep holdin on
Take the chance right now
Heaven is calling
And you will be falling
Hell is waitin
'Till dawn is breaking
I know
Heaven
I know heaven is calling
Calling
And when those years have past
You could not turn away
As I was runnin thru your head
You could not stay
The wings of tragedy
A neverending game
And the mystic poetry
Callin out your name
I know that you
Came to rescue me
But you keep wantin more
More than I can be
I know
You will never run for cover
And I know
You will never take another
Keep holdin on
Take the chance right now
Heaven is calling
And you will be falling
Hell is waitin
"Til dawn is breaking
I know
Heaven
I know heaven is calling
Calling
(Solo)
Heaven is calling
And you will be falling
Hell is waitin
"til dawn is breaking
I know
Heaven
I know heaven is calling
Calling
The lyrics to At Vance's song Heaven Is Calling describe a spiritual struggle between good and evil. The singer is torn between the light and the darkness, represented by a personification of heaven and hell. The devil is portrayed as a seductive force, tempting the singer with their eyes and offering rescue but always wanting more than the singer can give. The darkness spreads its wings of destiny, and the singer is left running blind, unable to see the truth.
Despite the devil's promises, the singer knows that they will never run for cover or take another. The idea of holding on and taking the chance right now suggests a sense of urgency, as if the singer is at a crossroads in their life and must make a decision before it's too late. The chorus repeats the lines "heaven is calling" and "hell is waiting," creating a sense of foreboding and emphasizing the high stakes of the situation. The solo towards the end of the song adds to the tension, with a guitar riff that rises and falls in intensity.
Overall, the lyrics to Heaven Is Calling convey a sense of conflict and uncertainty, with the singer unsure of which path to take. The devil is alluring and tempting, but the consequences of choosing the wrong path are dire. The song ends on a cliffhanger, with the fate of the singer left uncertain.

You Know everytime
Every time without fail
I look into those eyes
When I gaze into your eyes
I can't deny the feel
I cannot disregard the sensation
That you're the devil in disguise
You are concealing your wickedness
And when darkness spreads
As darkness prevails
The Wings of destiny
The course of fate
I keep runnin blind
I am running aimlessly
Can't you make me see
Can you reveal the truth to me
I know that you
I am aware that you
Came to rescue me
Came to my aid
But you keep wantin more
However, your demands are endless
More than I can be
More than I can provide

And I am confident
You will never take another
You will never be unfaithful
Keep holdin on

Seize the opportunity in the present
Heaven is calling
Paradise is summoning
And you will be falling
And you will be descending

The inferno is anticipating
'Till dawn is breaking
Until the emergence of daylight
I know Heaven
I acknowledge the existence of Heaven
I know heaven is calling
I know that I am being beckoned by Heaven
And when those years have past
And when time has elapsed
You could not turn away
You could not divert your attention
As I was runnin thru your head
As I occupied your mind
The wings of tragedy
The ominous occurrence
A neverending game
An interminable competition
And the mystic poetry
And the enigmatic verse
Callin out your name
Summoning you by name
Heaven is calling
Paradise is summoning
And you will be falling
And you will be descending
Hell is waitin
The inferno is anticipating
'til dawn is breaking
Until the emergence of daylight
I know Heaven
I acknowledge the existence of heaven
I know heaven is calling
I know that I am being beckoned by Heaven
