The Bells

[Verse 1]
Ghosts on the river
And centuries old hypocrisies
The prisons past the estates
The broken sun through the train yard gates
A tunnel blocked when the seven hills shook underground
Where dreams and civic virtues are measured in bodies, this town

[Pre-Chorus]
Through loudspeaker static, hear the orders at dawn
This time, we won't walk the Earth, as targets or as pawns

[Chorus]
And I, I hear the bells of St. Mark
When leaders and resistors' breath
Give me liberty, or give me death
And I, I hear the footsteps in the park
Believers in the Age of Reason fall
Union Hill to Masjid Bilal

[Verse 2]
Ghosts on the river
And centuries old hypocrisies
Prison past the estates
The broken sun through the train yard gate
A tunnel blocked when the seventh hill shook underground
When dreams and civic virtues are measured in bodies, this town
(This town!)

[Pre-Chorus]
And through loudspeaker static, hear the orders at dawn
(Ready, aim!)
This time, we won't walk the Earth, as targets or as pawns

[Chorus]
And I, I hear the bells of St. Mark
When leaders and resistor's breath
Control liberty and white-washed death
And I, I hear the footsteps in the park
Believers in the Age of Reason fall
Union Hill to Masjid Bilal

[Bridge]
(And no one remembers)
No one forgets, and no one remembers
No one forgets, and no one remembers at all
'Til monuments fall
No one forgets (Aye!) No one remembers
No one forgets (Aye!) No one remembers
No one forgets (Aye!) No one remembers at all
'Til monuments fall

[Breakdown]
(Now there's only people left)
No one remembers it all
'Til monuments fall
(No one, no one, no!)
Remembers it all, remembers it all
(No one, no one, no!)
Remembers it all, remembers it
(No one, no one, no!)
Remembers it all, remembers it all
'Til monuments fall

[Outro]
Ghosts on the river
And centuries old hypocrisies (Monuments fall)
Prison past the estates
The broken sun through the train yard gate (Monuments fall)
A tunnel blocked when the seventh hill shook underground (Monuments fall)
When dreams and civic virtues are measured in bodies, this town (Monuments fall)
