Haunting Lullaby

 

The bell tolls and there’s nothing but silence

A quiet echo that feels like violence

It spreads and it seeps

Making everything feel bleak

The bell tolls and there’s nothing but silence

 

The bell tolls and there’s nothing but silence

A war that no one wants looms from behind us

Mothers and Fathers weep

Their children forever sleep

The bell tolls and there’s nothing but silence

 

The bell tolls and there’s nothing but silence

They want you to look to their king for guidance

Blood is on their hands

Because of all of their demands

The bell tolls and there’s nothing but silence

 

The bell tolls and there’s nothing but silence

They bow to their false king and say “yes your highness”

The souls of the innocent haunt their every step

They fear the cost of what it would take to pay their debts

The bell tolls and there’s nothing but silence

 

The bell tolls and there’s nothing but silence

A country divided with no hope of guidance

Yet only those who tried to stop this feel the regret

Are we truly really great yet

The bell tolls and there’s nothing but silence
