I should be able to see
Golden gates of the divine
The only place that is free
Of things troubled and benign

Trapped tunnels, nothing to find
Escape to the other side
Voices trailing from behind
It's harder to live than die

Chorus:
The bells, the bells
The bells chime
The bells, the bells
Toll out of time
Bronze and bold
A hollow ring
Eyes close and
The angels sing

I should be able to feel
No need to find salvation
Lord, say it is surreal to
Reach final destination

Turned tunnels with paths that wind
God won't say a reason why
Living dead and I don't mind
No difference if I die

Chorus:
The bells, the bells
The bells chime
The bells, the bells
Toll out of time
Bronze and bold
A hollow ring
Eyes close and
The angels sing

Dead end, the black is bright
Stone wall, I can see it now
Damp ground, blinding light
Fade away, I don't know how

Chorus:
The bells, the bells
The bells chime
The bells, the bells
Toll out of time
Bronze and bold
A hollow ring
Eyes close and
The angels sing

Fade away, I don't know how (x4)
