Ring the Tolling Bell
Vibrations roll forth with
ominous sound at a distance,
low and deeply resounding
what fate will not forsake
for those hearing its ringing.
Ring the tolling bell
to ward and warn the others
who happen to be in the dark,
to find safety in the night
to hark and find their mark.
Destiny is calling with every strike
upon the bell tolling
and rolling its vibrations now soaring
up into the nighttime skies
and flowing with fate emploring.
Ring the tolling bell
and keep the unearthly pace
to despell carelessness and frivolty
throughout the range carried across
for primal simplicity to reign with immunity.
The toll has sounded,
danger is near
and fear will abound and sear
the hearts of complacency
holding back tears for all they endear.
