The Ancients Are Calling You

[Intro] Ancient voices rise beneath the stone Calling every lost soul home [Verse 1] We kept your names in clay and cedar Under the roots where the wells run deep Past the gates of dust and fever Past the place where the old gods sleep You wore your silence like a chain You carried winter in your bones Now hear the drum beneath the earth The buried road is leading home [Pre-Chorus] Turn your face toward the flame Let the old world speak your name [Chorus] Come up, come up, lost souls The Ancients are calling you home Break loose, break loose, lost souls The earth has opened its throne Raise your hands, let the dust fall No more waiting behind that wall Come up, come up, lost souls The Ancients are calling you home [Verse 2] From copper hills and salt-blue rivers From chambers sealed with a royal sign We send a breath through every prison We send a spark through every line Your mother’s song is in the doorway Your father’s footsteps cross the floor The ones who vanished from the story Are standing where the dawn pours in once more [Pre-Chorus] Turn your face toward the flame Let the old world speak your name [Chorus] Come up, come up, lost souls The Ancients are calling you home Break loose, break loose, lost souls The earth has opened its throne Raise your hands, let the dust fall No more waiting behind that wall Come up, come up, lost souls The Ancients are calling you home [Bridge] We call from the mountain We call from the sea We call through the bloodline Be who you were meant to be No chain, no curse, no borrowed crown The buried doors are coming down [Breakdown] Ancients say: rise! Lost souls say: we’re alive! Ancients say: rise! Earth says: open wide! [Final Chorus] Come up, come up, lost souls The whole wide earth is your home Break loose, break loose, lost souls You never had to rise alone Raise your hands, let the dust fall Hear the living answer the call Come up, come up, lost souls The Ancients are calling you home [Outro] Ancient voices fade into the morning Lost souls walk where the green fields grow Every name returns without a warning Every heart remembers where to go
