„Distress Call“ is about the dread of conflict and societal breakdown. The song addresses the collateral damage of war – the contrast between the departed who no longer care and the survivors left in the dark.
Waiting for the war to start
Just a short time away…
Entering our lives, going to stay,
Never going away, no mercy
[Bridge]
What will become of us in the
Dark of the world that will
Surround us forevever and ever
What will become of us in the
Dark of the moon that will
Never show again and again
Fighting has started, welcoming death
No end to be seen
The departed don’t care anymore
Just the ones left behind
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Hear my
Distress call
Don’t turn away
Look me in the eye
Hear my
Distress call
Don’t turn away
Look me in the eye
There might be hope, the light coming back
Will there be an end to this?
Nobodys left to care what will happen
I shall depart or will I survive?
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
