The bell tolls the tears of midnight's gloom And opens the gates to twilight's tomb The black sky above And the darkness inside me Consoles me, so soothing Consumes me, so slowly No light will shine No shadows thrown No mask will hide No mercy shown The sky tells the tale of endless doom And opens the doorway unto the room Where our eyes our blind To the portal opening Can't you see, me bleeding Misery, sustains me No light will shine No shadows thrown No mask will hide No mercy shown The clock strikes the hour when darkness looms And echoes the rise of shepherd moons The gale flies over And the raven is watching He has seen me weeping And holds me in his wings The sky it grows darker still The white mists rise over the hill The forces stir, the storm will break Shattering through the night to wake Of wind and sea Of sand and stone Never to be No mercy shown So cold and gray So cold and gray
