there's a place i've seen in your eyes
full of anguish, yes, but also lots of light

where the bells toll lovelier at night
and the blackest dark is always rather bright

where the random bits are almost by design
and the overtones are always amplified

ringing on and on and on
may our love go on and on

i forgot. will you sing for me a line?
from the tune that no one hears until its time

if you need to retreat from the fight
take my wings, but keep my sword there at your side

take me with you when you long for paradise
and if God won't let me in, get word to Christ

may the bells ring on, and on
may our love go on and on

go to sleep and i'll open your eyes
blood to wine, all pain is sweetness in disguise
when the birds sing more beautifully at night
that's a warning bell but mostly it's the sign
that the best things aren't gold and never shine
and beware the one eyed king leading the blind

may the bells ring on, and on
may our love go on and on

may it all go on and on
may our love go on and on

may our love go on and on
may our love go on and on
