That Holy Day

Lyrics

The Earth’s shakin’
My body’s quakin’
The glass breakin’
They know that this is the ending of the way

The Piper’s calling
Kingdoms are falling
Leaders are crawling
They know that this is the ending
Of the way that they were heading
Now they’re dreading
They’re dreading that Holy Day
Dreading that Holy Day
Dreading that Holy Day

Red Sun’s arisin’
John’s baptizin’
Down by the river
This is the ending of the way
That I’ve been living
I am forgiven
Forgiven on that Holy
That Holy Day

We stick together
Through stormy weather
Brothers and sisters
We know that it is the dawning
Of the day that we’re together, living forever
Together on that Holy
That Holy Day
Together on that Holy Day

The earth’s shakin’
My body’s quakin’
Kingdoms are falling
Falling
Falling
Falling

The Spirit’s calling
Calling
Calling
Calling

Calling for that Holy Day

Thoughts About This Song…

“That Holy Day” shakes the heavens with a gospel cry. The old world trembles and breaks, but in this resurrection moment the Spirit rises, calling the people home. Voices join in the firelight — brothers and sisters, forgiven and reborn, standing together as kingdoms fall. Where in earlier songs the seeker faced destruction in solitude, “That Holy Day” faces it in community. The tone is no longer lament — it’s celebration in the face of revelation.

The choir transforms apocalypse into praise, echoing African American spiritual traditions that find redemption and power in endurance. The music itself becomes testimony — the Spirit “calling” through rhythm and harmony. The end of the way becomes the beginning of forever — that holy, holy day.

That Holy Day feels like the moment when heaven and earth meet through song, when all the fire and dust of the quest finally resolve into unity and praise.

A note of cultural reverence: By using a Black gospel style, the lyric and performance naturally engage a sacred tradition rooted in resilience, justice, and hope through suffering.
 We acknowledge this lineage as an homage to the prophetic voice that gospel music embodies. In the context of the album, this song honors that spiritual heritage as one of the world’s great languages of liberation — a counterpart to the Dreamtime reverence of “Eternal Echoes.”
