Have you heard the call?

 (A lone voice sings.)


Press play before reading.

Salute.



 

Hey 

Sister or mister



Can you feel it in the tiny spaces 

In your soul


That low vibration  

Calling out 


Into the middle of the night 

With a low whisper


If you do 


Look to the Wailing Moon  

It will guide you home


To my Red Sky 


Where some of my purple doves fly 

And low shadows 


Roam 


Underneath and in 

Their locked rooms and catacombs 


Follow the whispering trail 

Of my falling golden messages 


It leaves 


Walk past 

Lord Dagu 


In Spring


The leader of Those 

Who Deceive 


When their bells 

He rings


Follow that incredible feeling 

In Winter 


Like it's your life's only reason 


Hear it in your heart 

From now  

 

So you can start 

Whatever the season



For your audience grows  

In our woodland groves 


Mother 

Daughters 

Fathers 

Brothers 


Sisters and

Sons 


They 

Ancestors 


Old lovers or

Kin 


All watch 

How you run 


Standing or dancing round 

Our huge burning pyre


Waiting for you 

To crossover 


When you retire


To take your place 

In the dancing circle 



By the Endless Fire


And embrace the magic 

Of Omaru 


It's endless power 


As you dance forever 

Under its Dark Tower 


As lost voices 

Ring out in joy


Like golden summoning bells

In 


The Eternal Winds of Lauter 


As they dance and yell 

In all weathers


Now we live 

In happiness 

Forever 


Purple Rain 


We only want to dance round the fire 


In the rain 


No more pain 

No more pain 


Now 

We only dance round the fire 

In the rain


Purple Rain
