Missionary Bell

[Verse 1] Summer's vine is knotted Twisting in the ground Wild fennel in the wetlands Nightfall hurling down Hear them in the valley They called me when you fell What else is as heavy as a missionary bell? A missionary bell A missionary bell What else is as heavy as a missionary bell? [Verse 2] There was nothing you could tell me No way to describe The puppets and the pirates And their banquet at your side Tell me, truly, truly For oncе, truly tell A single thing as heavy as a missionary bеll A missionary bell A missionary bell A single thing as heavy as a missionary bell [Verse 3] To shiver by your bedside To walk on broken shells Where on land could you run to Where there's no missionary bells? They're clanging out the coastline They're sending out the ships Across fathomless waters Across the next abyss Between the waves, you floated Between the waves of sound Down in discord's undertow Where every ship is drowned It tolls every muscle It takes every cell Not to buckle under the weight of a missionary bell A missionary bell A missionary bell Not to buckle under the weight of a missionary bell
