The Bells Of Lyonesse Songtext

Watching the city as it‘s going down
Beneath the waves I hear a terrible sound
Of course, it‘s just a picture
One to illustrate
Truth be told, a sad one
That cannot know right from wrong

Ahead of the waves
With the tides at my heels
And I am running away
From all the sounds in my head
From the shelter
As it all came undone
Still I‘m running away
From the bells in the sea, down below

It‘s how you read a story
From the start or in reverse
It‘s how you read your own life
Like a blessing or a curse
We see our sins reflected
in everything around
But sometimes we‘re too close
To differ innocence from fault

Ahead of the storm
With the wolves at my heels
And I‘m running away
From all the things behind me
From the lost faith
And the splendor we shared
Still I‘m running away
From the void in my soul, down below

And now I‘m all alone
Yes now I‘m all alone
As the waves keep coming in I‘m all alone
As the bells keep on haunting
Bells keep on haunting me
On and on and on

Ahead of the waves
With the tides at my heels
And I am running away
From all the sounds in my head
From the shelter
As it all came undone
Still I‘m running away
From the bells in the sea
From the lost faith
And the splendor we shared
Still I‘m running away
From the void in my soul, down below
