I secretly crave, crave that scent again
Still feel it pressing on me now
Now with the onset, my flesh is weakening
I steel my nerves for temptations at hand again
And I hear this calling still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling out
No secrets deception for these would tear this down
I'll note the past spair the pain
Words match my deeds with brutal honesty
Never forget these choices were made by me
And I hear this calling still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling out
Not falling victim to the fire that burns inside of me
Though I am fearfull I will not prevent this tragedy
My strengths been tested I wear the scars that prove
Still I believe that this calling will see me through
And I hear this calling still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling out
My strengths been tested I wear the scars that prove
Still I believe that this calling will see me through.

sorry, but ATR is definately NOT a christian band. that is a complete rumor and in many interviews ive read with the band, when that question comes up, the response is "nope, not at all". although i do believe that some (if not all) the members are actually christians. phil has addressed the seemingly christian lyrics and has said he "just writes what comes to mind" and that the references and interpretations are coincidental.
FIRST OF ALL it's a christian band that sings about God...for example...songd like forever in your hands, not alone, and a song for the hopless... it doesn't take a genious to figure out WHO'S calling he needs and it's jesus's sacrifice. the burning in his heart is the temptation of sin...like he sais "i steel my nerves for temptations at hand
i hear this calling still you don't seem so far at all!! means i hear him calling and he isn't far at all...exactly as it sais lol
I'll note the past and spare the pain (he knows what he has done and he asks to spare the pain)
now with the onset, my FLESH is weakening. (it means with the spirit inside and the power of god he will over come the cravings fo the flesh)
and never forget these choices were made by me. (he knows it's his fault and he hears jesus and knows he's not far at all)
my strength has been tested (by god)
still i belive this calling (of god) will see me through (he's be granted eternal lie!! the song is made from verses such as john 3:16 lol
not trying to be a jerk but not every heavy metal band is about crap
a lot of these guys feel it with their hearts and play the sufferings christ went through by showing evberyone through song lol
I think its about a young man struggling with the addiction of lust. " I secretly crave, crave that scent again, still feel it pressing on my now, now with the onset, my flesh is weakening, I steal my neaves for tempations at hand again." This shows his addictions and tempations. The breakdown of the song -- "Not falling victim...see me through." is about the young mans battle, and he is making a point to stand against lust. and I think the chorus is about the young man trying to fight and God is the calling, reaching him and pullinghim away from his sin. thats just what i think.
