The bell tower is off an hour...

Posted on Nov 21st, 2008 by Oracle Phoenix : Adventurer Oracle Phoenix
 

The bell tower is off an hour,

Breaking down and losing power

Children waking from the dream

Downward spiral gathers steam


Blue-black storm clouds rolling in

Each new sunrise growing dim

Obscure the lost and break the bell

Minutes marching on to Hell


Spin the hands around the clock

Ticking, ticking ‘til it stops

Turn the tide and raise the day

Loose the clouds and bring the rain


Weeping at the widow's grave

The champion of the fallen brave

Whose dreams are buried in this ground

With fire and water raining down


All around, the world's ablaze

The demon's eyes begin to glaze

Speared upon a broken stake

An empire impaled on hate


Desperate children trapped by fear

Observe their hero drawing near

His soul repaired, the bell replaced

And trailing blue sky in his wake.
