lyrics

W H E N T H E B E L L T O W E R T O L L S

Each man dons teeth and rock, sharpened up to a point to take a life easy, to take a life at all.

Each one gathers kin and huddles them, to wonder all along a road less travelled than his father ever done.

Father, Sister, Mother and Brother sharing one thing in a name and nothing else but the travel till the dawn.

Shadows fall and the sun comes a-glowing over hills and the sea.

One thing holds them together in the new day.

When the bell tower tolls they’ll hide all their wrongs.

When the bell tower tolls they’ll fill all their lungs

When the bell tower tolls there’ll be nothing that belongs.

The advance on the tower was planned with maps and paper structures.

This stone that had taken one thousand or more years to get this smooth.

To slip in the foundation, the sand will fall and the roads will crease

The advance on the tower was planned when the bell tower tolled
