The bell invites me.
For it is a knell
That summons thee to heaven, or to hell.
Fear of the tone seems obscene

But the tone
Seems to strike and I always seem alone
Summon me to hell
By the knell of the bell

On a string of chain
Around my neck
May seemed deranged
But I keep the bell there

When I hear that tone
That god awful drone
My blood runs cold
I try to silence the bell by keeping it in my hold

But even in my hand
The bell rings to me the damned
Summon thee to heaven or to hell
Darkness upon me has fallen

Heaven is not a place for me
A place where all is happy
Let me fall into darkness so I may see
In the light of my eyes what is wrong with me

The bell invites me
For it is a knell
Summons thee to heaven or to hell
The tone I hear when alone,

Will become the light to pierce the darkness
And enlighten me

I really like this, you have a different perspective on the bell.

Summons thee to heaven or to hell
the tone I hear when alone......

WOW!

To me the sound of a bell has always been soothing, I like the different view.
