There Were Bells

There were birds above, they sang the whole day through And the sky revolves all pink to golden blue All the roads through time, weave the world's long rhyme Then it all unravels in a sea of pearls and swine There were bells above that rang the whole day through And the sky was shot with light and hazy blue Early days of winter sun, all the days turned into one All the sirens beckoning the crew There were horns as loud as war that tore apart the sky There were storms and floods of blood, a human high Never mind, my love, let's wait for the dove Fly back to tell us there's a haven showing nigh There were those who ran away There were those who had to stay In the end, they all went the same way
