[intro][raï vocals] Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ooh-ay-ah, ooh-ay-ah [bridge][spoken word] Screams in the distance, chaos in the hills. We must gather these souls and send them home. The Horn of Nēhtu will summon the lost to the beacon of the light-bearer. [verse][female vocals] Hand in hand, say the words, give them life and fill them with purpose. Hold high the guiding light! Send a sounding of solace. [pre-chorus][shouted] QARNU NĒHTU IŠASSI QALÊ ŠULMI!, QALÊ ŠULMI! NAPŠĀTŪ ŠA NAPĀṢI ANA QALÊ ŠULMI! [chorus] It will take us all to gather the scattered. We must open our hearts. Raise our beacon to guide them home! [interlude][raï vocals] Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ooh-ay-ah, ooh-ay-ah [bridge][spoken word][female vocal] Hand in hand our power flowed. My eyes filled with tears and I thought of home. I thought of my family. I thought of my friends. I raised my light and called the scattered home. [bass drop] [verse][call and response] Through our bond (hand in hand) the fall of our tears (say the words) Our hearts send a sounding (raise the light) To summon the scattered home! [pre-chorus][shouted] QARNU NĒHTU IŠASSI QALÊ ŠULMI!, QALÊ ŠULMI! NAPŠĀTŪ ŠA NAPĀṢI ANA QALÊ ŠULMI! [chorus] It will take us all to gather the scattered We must open our hearts. Raise our beacon to guide them home! [bass drop] [bridge][spoken word] The light brightened and, casting no shadows, it pierced both brick wall and stony hill. The chaos went quiet. The night stood still under a bright silence, a lucid peace. And down from the hills the scattered returned. [outro][raï vocals] Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ooh-ay-ah, ooh-ay-ah [end]
