The Calling Lyrics

Clear your tears
And dry your eyes
We live in fear
And drunken lies
Douse the flames
Of devil dawning
The cold blade falls
On misty morning
And for their sins
We live and die
The angel cowers
In blackened skies
So take my hand and walk again
We'll take a walk through yellow rain

She's calling, just calling...

So now's the time
We hear the calling
While lovers feast
By mirrored pools
A million cries
From shattered faces
We dance in tune
To the pipes of gold

She's calling, just calling...

I imagine a private party hosted and attended by the most decadent of homosexuals, at least one of which likes piss, and another of which likes to see the destruction of the decadent façade in the penetrative truth of...well, NM, let's keep this PG13, or something. "SHE" is the spirit of lust, older than time or modern religion (IMO).

DISCLAIMER: I am not a monosexual or a decadent, but I've seen some shit in my time.

I take the first stanza to mean that a select group of people are being targeted for the crimes committed by other people and the ones "we" refers to want to leave the community. However, it's not that simple as the community will probably piss on them as they are leaving. The second stanza, I think, is trying to paint the picture that the ones "we" refers to can't go anywhere without people passing judgment or showing disgust and this causes them to behave more appropriately as dictated by the other people. I'm not sure what "she's calling" might mean, unless it's the nagging voice in their heads that causes them to conform to their society's norms.
