Calling of Souls

I'm searching for a hero that i cannot find I'm searching for a hero outside my mind What was once lost in the seas of deception Swimming in the pool of Godly anticipation Can now be found in the water of a priest Wearing the wings of an angel once deceased He called me once to come to him I couldn't bring myself to answer him Why would i choose him out of them all Why this particular call I look up to the sky trying to find What people tell me he will never hide The grace of God is what they keep telling me Will be pulling and tugging ABUNDANTLY On the corners of soul, pulling on the fragile strings of happiness Finding the marvelous bliss I'll never discover one way or another I use to feel my soul starting to dissolve in the toxic waste i called a life That nuclear diaster was consuming my soul Eating it up without a sound I could hardly feel it slipping away, till the skies opened And with it came that purifying rain, the rain unlike water that washed away the pain The deep feeling of a call unlike any other Calling it to come into the love Calling it to come into the laughter Calling it to reintroduce itself as a new and refreshened vessel of hope He called me once to come to him I couldn't bring myself to answer him That previous call i could have listened That big brick wall i could have demolished What is it about the angels that he sent for my soul They shine so brightly with their airtight hold Believe me when i tell you you will never feel The blistering heat nor the paralising cold The calling of this soul was never easy The toughest job the big guy had to deal The biggest deal he had to attentively seal The soul the soul felt a great sense of peace in its calling Because it was no longer ignoring Ignoring the peace Ignoring the love Ignoring the peaceful hold of the Gods He called me once to come to him I couldn't bring myself to answer him The calling of my soul that made my whole entire being feel whole That's the day the calling of souls began
