The Summoning Lyrics

[Refrain]
I've got a river running right into you
I've got a blood trail, red in the blue
Something you say or something you do
The taste of the divine


[Pre-Chorus]
You've got my body, flesh, and bone, yeah
The sky above, the Earth below

[Chorus]
Raise me up again
Take me past the edge
I want to see the other side
See the other side


[Pre-Chorus]
You've got my body, flesh, and bone
The sky above, the Earth below

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Raise me up again
Takе me past the edgе
I want to see the other side

Won't you show me what it's like?
Won't you show me what it's like?
[Bridge]
Oh, and my love
Did I mistake you for a sign from God
Or are you really here to cast me off?
Or maybe just to turn me on
'Cause these days
I would be lying if I told you that
I didn't wish that I could be your man
Or maybe make a good girl bad

[Refrain]
I've got a river running right into you
I've got a blood trail, red in the blue

Something you say or something you do
The taste of the divine

You've got my body, flesh, and bone
The sky above, the Earth below
Nothing to say and nowhere to go
The taste of the divine

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The Summoning is the second single from Sleep Token’s upcoming third album release, Take Me Back to Eden.

This release takes a much different tone than the prior, Chokehold, with a heavier tone reminiscent of 2019’s The Offering. As is Sleep Token fashion, listeners will be pleasantly surprised as the near-end of the song takes a 180-degree turn with a funk interlude.
