About this song
Once a simple cleric named Lia, she was the sole survivor of a demonic slaughter. Now, with wings of black and white, Kaalia calls upon every force from above and below to serve her vengeance. Her army takes flight from the vast emptiness inside her, a storm of angels, demons, and dragons aimed at the one who took everything.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] I was Lia in the sun With dust upon my hands A cleric in a quiet town A girl in a quiet land Then Nefarox came down And the chasm took the rest I was the only one who walked Out of that arena's chest [Pre-Chorus] They called me Kaalia — said the "Ka" means power And I felt it like a god Every angel and every demon owes me their hour [Chorus] Above and below — I have called you all Every host of heaven, every demon's call The wings I wear are black and white together And I will not stop until the demon lord is felled From the vast inside me, the army takes flight Every angel, every dragon, every fiend tonight Above and below — answer when I call For I am the only one left standing of them all [Verse 2] I traded the chapel for the open sky Traded prayer for the howl Every sermon I had ever known Got wrung out of me whole Now my congregation is fire And my pulpit is the air I do not save — I summon And I send them down to where [Pre-Chorus] They called me Kaalia — said the "Ka" means power And I felt it like a god Every angel and every demon owes me their hour [Chorus] Above and below — I have called you all Every host of heaven, every demon's call The wings I wear are black and white together And I will not stop until the demon lord is felled From the vast inside me, the army takes flight Every angel, every dragon, every fiend tonight Above and below — answer when I call For I am the only one left standing of them all [Bridge] There was a girl named Lia With dust upon her hands She prayed for the world to be gentle And her god did not understand But I am gentle to no creature And I am gentle to no god I have only the names of Lia's killers Carved on every blade and rod In the vast emptiness — I am not alone [Final Chorus] Above and below — I have called you all Every host of heaven, every demon's call The wings I wear are black and white together And the demon lord will fall From the vast inside me, the army takes flight Every angel, every dragon, every fiend tonight Above and below — answer when I call And the girl who once was Lia will be the last to fall [Outro] From above And below Answer When I call
