[00:00.54]The Bells(feat. the Metro Voices) - Eric Woolfson/The Metro Voices
[00:18.08]Hear the sledges with the bells-
[00:20.12]Silver bells
[00:21.58]What a world of merriment their melody foretells
[00:25.23]How they tinkle tinkle tinkle
[00:26.94]In the icy air of night
[00:28.83]While the stars that oversprinkle
[00:30.61]All the heavens seem to twinkle
[00:32.40]With a crystalline delight
[00:34.32]Keeping time time time
[00:36.07]In a sort of Runic rhyme
[00:38.04]To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
[00:41.58]From the bells bells bells bells bells bells bells-
[00:45.23]From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells
[00:54.44]Hear the mellow wedding bells
[00:56.54]Golden bells
[00:57.88]What a world of happiness their harmony foretells
[01:01.56]Through the balmy air of night
[01:03.41]How they ring out their delight
[01:05.15]From the molten-golden notes
[01:07.70]And an in tune
[01:08.92]What a liquid ditty floats
[01:11.54]To the turtle-dove that listens while she gloats
[01:14.27]On the moon
[01:15.21]Oh from out the sounding cells
[01:16.98]What a gush of euphony voluminously wells
[01:20.62]How it swells
[01:21.58]How it dwells
[01:22.56]On the Future how it tells
[01:24.25]Of the rapture that impels
[01:26.03]To the swinging and the ringing
[01:27.91]Of the bells bells bells
[01:29.66]Of the bells bells bells bells bells bells bells-
[01:33.37]To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells
[01:42.67]Hear the loud alarum bells-
[01:44.90]Brazen bells
[01:46.12]What a tale of terror now their turbulency tells
[01:49.68]In the startled ear of night
[01:51.51]How they scream out their affright
[01:53.33]Too much horrified to speak
[01:55.17]They can only shriek shriek
[01:56.98]Out of tune
[01:58.83]In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire
[02:02.42]In a mad expostulation with the deaf and frantic fire
[02:06.06]Leaping higher higher higher
[02:07.90]With a desperate desire
[02:09.70]And a resolute endeavor
[02:11.44]Now-now to sit or never
[02:13.31]By the side of the pale-faced moon
[02:16.98]Oh the bells bells bells
[02:18.78]What a tale their terror tells
[02:20.61]Of Despair
[02:22.39]How they clang and clash and roar
[02:24.27]What a horror they outpour
[02:26.07]On the bosom of the palpitating air
[02:29.71]Yet the ear it fully knows
[02:31.53]By the twanging
[02:32.48]And the clanging
[02:33.34]How the danger ebbs and flows:
[02:36.20]Yet the ear distinctly tells
[02:37.86]In the jangling
[02:38.88]And the wrangling
[02:39.70]How the danger sinks and swells
[02:42.65]By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells-
[02:46.03]Of the bells-
[02:47.85]Of the bells bells bells bells bells bells bells-
[02:51.57]In the clamor and the clangor of the bells
[03:41.75]Hear the tolling of the bells-
[03:43.83]Iron Bells
[03:45.17]What a world of solemn thought their monody compels
[03:48.84]In the silence of the night
[03:50.61]How we shiver with affright
[03:52.44]At the melancholy menace of their tone
[03:55.83]For every sound that floats
[03:57.86]From the rust within their throats
[03:59.66]Is a groan
[04:01.55]And the people-ah the people-
[04:03.35]They that dwell up in the steeple
[04:05.12]All Alone
[04:07.03]And who tolling tolling tolling
[04:08.78]In that muffled monotone
[04:10.59]Feel a glory in so rolling
[04:12.45]On the human heart a stone-
[04:14.29]They are neither man nor woman-
[04:16.10]They are neither brute nor human-
[04:17.96]They are Ghouls:
[04:19.75]And their king it is who tolls
[04:21.53]And he rolls rolls rolls
[04:23.36]Rolls
[04:23.60]A paean from the bells
[04:25.14]And his merry bosom swells
[04:26.91]With the paean of the bells
[04:30.71]And he dances and he yells
[04:32.41]Keeping time time time
[04:34.23]In a sort of Runic rhyme
[04:36.08]To the paean of the bells-
[04:37.87]Of the bells:
[04:40.02]Keeping time time time
[04:41.51]In a sort of Runic rhyme
[04:43.33]To the throbbing of the bells-
[04:45.15]Of the bells bells bells-
[04:46.95]To the sobbing of the bells
[04:48.80]Keeping time time time
[04:50.67]As he knells knells knells
[04:52.41]In a happy Runic rhyme
[04:54.23]To the rolling of the bells-
[04:56.03]Of the bells bells bells:
[04:57.88]To the tolling of the bells
[05:01.56]Of the bells bells bells bells bells bells bells-
[05:05.15]Of the bells bells bells bells bells bells bells-
[05:08.78]To the moaning and the groaning of the bells
[05:18.38]Bells bells bells bells bells
[05:27.04]Of the bells
