Eloy, Alice Merton - The Call lyrics

A gentle mystic sound - ringing in her
Ears - strange vibration fill the air
Before her eyes - an angelical appearance
- surrounded by a magic light
Frightened, mesmerized by a wondrous
Sight - she asks herself - is it all real?

Voices soft and kind - penetrate her mind
- a message from a higher sphere
Saying: "Don't be afraid - you’ve been chosen
To fight - guided by celestial advice"
Destined to end all torture and
Pain - don't hesitate

She's but a virgin - a
Native maid of Lorraine
Disregarding all danger - only
Fears still remain
The heavenly order - to turn our
Fate - on battlefields of war

Imperative instructions - echoing inside -
Belief dispersing inner doubts
Vocational assignment - encouraged she
Obeys - her trust in god is guiding her way
Her soul ablaze by this heavenly
Call - she carries on

"I heard a voice, sublime and awe-inspiring
Surrounded by a radiant light then
I saw the shape of an angel
He spoke softly but commandingly
And revealed to me a mission from God
He said that I had been
Chosen to go with the army to expel the enemy
From our suffering country he
Demanded that I first
Liberate the besieged city of Orleans
And lead our Dauphin charles to Reims to be
Crowned and consecrated
That he might receive his
Rightful inheritance as king
He dispersed any fears I had at first
By saying that I would be directed by
Angels from now on and I should
Trust in God i vowed to remain a virgin
For the fulfilment of my task and
Entrusted myself to the command of the angels
I know they will guide me safely"

"As her first and closest companion
On the journey of
Her mission, she told me, Jean de Metz
Of her mandate through the
Angel’s revelation i trust
Her and the guidance of her heavenly voices
And will at all times unfailingly remain at
Her side wherever the path should lead"
