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
