I got my eyes pealed on a watchtower

That bent then broke four years ago 

There were 10 to 15 men inside

That screamed their stories were untold

 I looked one right dead in the eye

While two more said please don't let us go

 

But the truth be known I didn't mind

Watching that old belfry fold



1 was vengeance 2 was hate

3 was envy 4 was rape

5 and 6 was lust and lies

These were the names

Fell when the bell chimed



Their knuckles white their faces red

And all in unison they said

 

"You'll never win 

You're way too old

Your father's sin 

Gave us your soul"

 

Then two men stood up beside me

And we stepped back to wait and see

 

That belfry start to sway and lean

And all in unison we all screamed



That 1 was vengeance 2 was hate

3 was envy 4 was rape

5 and 6 was lust and lies 

All these names that

fell when the bell chimed!



Upon the rock on which we stand

I see the belfry in the sand

 

4 years have gone 

The sand is old; it's covered all my sin with mold

 

And steady comes the midnight tide

To slowly crack the belfry's pride

 

3 men and I tell stories told 

Of fathers sin still trapped inside

 

1 was vengeance 2 was hate

Still we pray they'll never wake

3 and 4 was envy and lies

All these were all the names that fell with the bell chime

5 was greed and 6 was lust

7 was the name I'll never trust

8 and 9 was wrath and Pride

10 was jealousy that binds

11 and 12 was  vanity and betrayal

13 was the sloth that killed

14 cried for the judgment that tried

 

These were all the names that fell with the bell chime
