Kyrie Eleison

Intro

Oh—

Kyrie eleison

Oh—

Hear the bell

Drop

Run it

Burn it

Move it fast

Don’t look back

Verse 1

Cold steel singing under blackened boots

Snowlight caught in the iron roots

Coins like teeth in a frozen hand

Smoke curls where the bell tower stands

Neon frost on the chapel wire

Ashes breathe in the sacred fire

Pre-Chorus

Lord have mercy on the mountain top

Lord have mercy on the bass drop

Mercy ringing through the static hum

Mercy till the morning comes

Chorus

Bell for the dead

Bell for the gate

Fire in the blood

Before it’s too late

Fire in the sky

Water in the well

I hear their names

Inside the bell

Pray for us all

Pray for us all

Post-Chorus

Go, go, go, go

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Through the snow

Don’t let go

Verse 2

Wolves at the fence and the wires spark

White eyes burning holes in the dark

Blood on the steps where the choir fell

I felt their hands when I rang the bell

No sunrise breaks the iron gray

Only the toll that won’t fade away

Pre-Chorus

Lord have mercy on the mountain top

Lord have mercy when the last lights drop

Mercy ringing through the shattered glass

Mercy while the shadows pass

Chorus

Bell for the dead

Bell for the gate

Fire in the blood

Before it’s too late

Fire in the sky

Water in the well

I hear their names

Inside the bell

Pray for us all

Pray for us all

Drop

Run it

Burn it

Move it fast

Night comes black

Run it

Burn it

Don’t look back

Bridge

Dominus

Sanctus

Amen

Amen

I lit the altar with my own breath

I rang the bell for every death

Their names still break beneath my tongue

And still the bell is never done

Amen

Amen

Final Chorus

Bell for the dead

Bell for the gate

Fire in the blood

I bear their weight

Fire in the sky

Water in the well

If I fall tonight

Ring that bell

Pray for us all

Or pray for me

Pray for us all

Or bury me

Outro

Kyrie eleison

Amen

Hear the bell
