The tolling of cathedral bells Aloft in the still black chamber Calling forth the faithful From lives of wretchedness They rise in acquiescence To the temples anguished chime Searching for their sins atonement And be spared the eternal fires You would bleed for your safe haven Salvations veiled in the candles dancing flame As the solemn gaze of marble icons Falls dreaded upon thy soul Withered limbs kneel in prayer To cleanse each brow of sin Stricken with the grief of age Let deaths knell softly ring A distant sound: summoning Through the quietude Is it the voice of God? Hollow words resound Through catacombs of long suffering grief The silence ruptured forevermore The bells of the tower haven now fallen silent And the voice of god Summons me no more
