The Bells Songtext
von Aeternitas

Can you hear the gentle ringing
Of the shiny silver bells?
What a calm and peaceful world
That their melodie fortells

In the icy air of the night
What is that sound that slowly swells?
All the stars shine in crystal delight
It seems to be the lifetime bells

Trough the balmy air of the night
Why do you trust their melody?
How they ring out their lovely delight
It all begins in harmony


Can you hear the gentle ringing
Of the shiny silver bells?
What a calm and peaceful world
That their melodie fortells
Can you hear the mellow ringing
Of the distant golden bells?
It′s a far, delusive world
Of which their harmony fortells
Keeping time and time
In sort of Runic rhyme
How it swells and dwells
The ringing bells – ringing of the bells

In the startled ear of the night
What do you hear, what do you fear?
How we scream out the awful affright
The end of time is drawing near.

When the silence fell in the night
Why don't you see the near decline?
How we shiver with dire affright
The bells have rang for the last time


Can you hear the gentle ringing
Of the shiny silver bells?
What a calm and peaceful world
That their melodie fortells
Can you hear the mellow ringing
Of the distant golden bells?
It′s a far, delusive world
Of which their harmony fortells
Keeping time and time
In sort of Runic rhyme
How it swells and dwells
The ringing bells – ringing of the bells

Who is the ringer who tolls the bell
Causing this merciless sound?
It is the king of the nether world
Whipping his mallet around!

Can you hear the hollow ringing
Of the massive brazen bells?
What a tale of frantic terror,
Now, their turbulency tells
Can you hear the morbid ringing
Of the heavy iron bells?
What a world of solemn thought,
That their monody compels
Ringing of the bells
