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
