𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐄 ✧ The Elders' Call (Official Music Video)  
 
"The Elders' Call" is about hearing and answering the call of our ancestors – The Elders. Their song echoes through our hearts as we seek love and connection, walking the earth as they once did. They who paved the way, endured, triumphed and celebrated life.  
 
The song is a cinematic, folk-infused metal hymn where soaring operatic vocals rise over primal drums, haunting hurdy-gurdy, and ethereal flutes - echoing the voices of the Elders.  
 
The hooded figure in the music video represents the Matriarch of DIANNE's Elders, with the Eagle-Owl by her side as her avatar. All Elders find their avatars in birds of prey: silent watchers who roam the skies, keeping a watchful eye as we follow our path and, from time to time, let their presence be known.  
 
In "The Elders' Call," we see DIANNE's encounter with one of her direct Elder's avatars: the Harris Hawk. The perspective of this bird of prey is captured with impressive drone footage of DIANNE's journey.  
 
The story continues the album's overarching narrative and picks up where DIANNE's last single, "Flameborn," ended.

✧ LYRICS ✧  
 
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴' 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘭  
 
Beneath the stillness ancient drums reside, soundly beating through quiet nights.  
Scars may guard us, souls they intertwine when songs of the heart align.  
 
Over the golden faraway mountains, far beyond the boundless sea.  
There we will walk our forever journey, ‘til the elders call on me.  
 
Your voice lifts me aloft into the sky, slowly dancing down aisles of light.  
Sheltered under heaven's vault we stride valiantly at life.  
 
Life sprung from death, only awakens to fight the tides of time.  
 
Over the golden faraway mountains, far beyond the boundless sea.  
There we will walk our forever journey, ‘til the elders call on me.  
 
I hear your voice, answer your calling. Oh, you've shown me:  
Life sprung from life, always awakens the elders' call,  
a song that will guide us to love and to learn before we fall.  
 
Beneath the stillness ancient drums reside,  
soundly beating through turbulent days and quiet nights.  
 
Over the golden faraway mountains, far beyond the boundless sea.  
There we will walk our forever journey, ‘til the elders call on me.  
Will you walk our forever journey? Until the elders call on me.
