[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Hear the bells ring
They prey far and wide
And the beatings and the steps are heavy
But the souls of the old and young
They weigh nothing
[Verse 2]
I walk and walk
But behind every door
Has silent steps walked before me
And all that she chose to touch
They are now my burden
[Chorus]
Hear the bells ring
And the mountain forest stands
Hear the bells ring
[Verse 3]
A wanderer in black
She does not need a map
And the book she hides in her lap
Tells the story about the farms, the names
And everything we once were
[Verse 4]
I know where I'm going
The last one to fall
He taught me the steps and the way
And if I were chastened and beaten
I followed a call
[Chorus]
Hear the bells ring
And the mountain forest stands
Hear the bells ring
And the mountain forest stands
[Outro]
And rushes when the days are through
For all the lonely and mute
That was here yesterday
Here yesterday
Here yesterday
Here yesterday
Here yesterday
Here yesterday
