Lyrics

Deadly Bells

[Verse 1]

Up above you'll only see the sky

An ocean of grey in the air

Nothing to bother you there

No one to raise any hell

No more farewells

Under the deadly bells

[Verse 2]

Down below hanging on for life

The echoes of red goodbyes

Sing on the wind in your eyes

Begging the river to tell

Watch as she swells

Under the deadly bells

[Verse 3]

Deep inside you'll only see her smile

Waiting alone all this time

Trembling there on the vine

Without a warning she fell

Raising her hell

Under the deadly bells
