Ring... Ding...
Those bells, do you hear them?
Listen! Listen closely and you will.

Ring... Ding...
There they go again.
Surely you must hear them now Must you?

Ring... Ding...
I'm not going crazy!
They are there, I can hear them!

Ring... Ding...
That was four!
Listen to me please, believe me!

Ring... Ding...
What happens when it reaches twelve?!
Oh goodness please let me go!

Ring... Ding...
They are ringing again and again!
Six times, six I tell you!

Ring... Ding...
They yell like the voices of melting angels!
They are breaking please!

Ring... Ding...
Tell me that I am crazy when you are deaf!
They ring I tell you they do!

Ring... Ding...
Eight, they are screaming!
They scream, Oh how they scream!

Ring... Ding...
They are growing closer!
They are screaming louder!

Ring... Ding...
Oh please make them stop please!
They are too much oh please!

Ring... Ding...
Oh they are coming!
Please don't let them come!

Ring... Ding...
It is the last one!
They have come, they are here!

Miss, I am terribly sorry that I must now inform you that your son has died in action on the battlefield. I know this is much, but I must ask where you wish to bury him.
