[Verse 1] I woke to salt on my tongue And frost on the oar The black gull leaned from the mast Like it knew my name before There were runes in the ash By the fire-pit stone And the tide beat time Like a fist on bone [Pre-Chorus] Then I heard it again From the dune and the foam A sound in the timber Pulling me home Four ways open Four winds loud I raised my head And answered out loud [Chorus] The Calls, the Calls I hear The Calls From ice to wave From stone to falls The Calls, the Calls I follow The Calls Through winter teeth And thunder walls [Verse 2] The river came silver Through reeds and mud A red fox watched me From a root-wound bluff The old druid lantern Burned green in the rain He said, "Every road Has a price and a name" [Pre-Chorus] Then the horn in the hill Sent a shiver through me Like a ship in a gale Or a tree in a siege Four ways open Four winds loud I raised my head And answered out loud [Chorus] The Calls, the Calls I hear The Calls From ice to wave From stone to falls The Calls, the Calls I follow The Calls Through winter teeth And thunder walls [Bridge] Under the moon-bleached pines I stood alone With the sea behind me And snow in my bones No crown, no shield Just the road and flame Still I knew that voice Would call me again [Final Chorus] The Calls, the Calls I hear The Calls From ice to wave From stone to falls The Calls, the Calls I follow The Calls Through winter teeth And thunder walls The Calls, the Calls I answer The Calls Until the dawn Breaks over all
