The Call
Voodus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sing for the moon and for Lilith and the womb
Sing for the keys, the paths and the roads
Sing with a tongue of fire and to all that thrives below!
To burning temples, ruins and stones!
To the dust in the wind
To memories and to the old
To dreams and to the once so wild and free
To travel and to seek the paths of wonder
To walk in the dark on black cracking ice
To run over the edge of consciousness and time
With cloaks of the night, rubes of the stars and with crowns of the crimson moon above!
Voices in the dark, delightful and mysterious
Whispers from times with ancient tongues
With promises of landscapes and of worlds beyond
Beyond the shackles, the flesh and the ones who was loved!
Whispers about realms beyond the mountains, far beyond the stars and dreams of man
Whispers offormless lands and shores with oceans so wild
And of everything that is lost both in mind and time
And how all that will be loved is concealed in distant darkness
Out of reach for those of the fading light
Now let us ride with the night and the moon!
Sing the songs of the wild, the tomb and the womb!
Yes let us be far away from life before the morning grows old
Yes, let us be far away from the sun when the morning comes!
The lyrics of Voodus' song "The Call" express a desire to embrace the darkness and mystery of life beyond what is known and comfortable.

The final line of the stanza urges us to sing to all that thrives below, hinting at a connection to the earth and its inhabitants.
The second stanza continues this theme of seeking the unknown, with references to burning temples and ruins as well as memories and dreams of a time that was more free and wild. The lines "to walk in the dark on black cracking ice" and "to run over the edge of consciousness and time" evoke a sense of danger and risk-taking, with the singer willing to embrace the darkness in order to fully experience life. The stanza concludes with imagery of the night sky, with "cloaks of the night, robes of the stars, and crowns of the crimson moon above", implying a sense of royalty and power in embracing the unknown.
The final stanza of "The Call" seems to be a call to action, encouraging listeners to ride with the night and the moon and sing the songs of the wild and the mysterious. The lines "let us be far away from life before the morning grows old" and "let us be far away from the sun when the morning comes" suggest a desire to escape the mundane and experience something beyond what is known and safe. Overall, the lyrics of "The Call" speak to the human desire for adventure, risk, and mystery, encouraging us to embrace the unknown and live life to its fullest.

Let us escape the mundane and the ordinary
Yes, let us be far away from the sun when the morning comes!
Let us avoid the light and the noise of daily life
