The 2nd of Three Bells Lyrics

Who will be my sun when the day breaks?

Who will be my sun as the morning wakes?

Even time wishes you were here

Wait with me, the dawn will come

Come all the bells and come the fear

Where the holy words come from

I can’t find any joy in here

I wish I’d loved you for that long

I had so little here to keep

Drawn through these hordes to die

Come the chimes that will peal so deep

The third bell to horrify

Into my vessel they can weep

I lay back and I watch them cry

The Angel of the cruellest watch

The bearer of the final bell

Here comes my wounded hand

Take it now or watch me die

Here comes my bleeding claw

Take it now or watch me die

Come aloud the final toll, seeding liars into the world

With cold hands I raise you up to my lips as lovers die
