Tolling Bell

from Stages by Jon Porobil

/

lyrics

Stop the orchestra; tie the singers up
Burn the opera to the ground
Melt the celluloid; crash the power grid
Let the city make no sound

Take the least repentant thieves and televangelists
Let them carry what they will
And when there's nothing left but prayers and ruins
Then at last we'll all be still

I will signify a tolling bell
With a gesture of my hand
One by one we will emerge again
To rebuild our land

Drop the laptop case; don't take anything
Find a cozy place to hide
Mind and body will be all you need in this new world
Cast the rest of it aside

I will signify a tolling bell
With a gesture of my hand
One by one we will emerge again
To rebuild our broken land

I will signify a tolling bell
With a gesture of my hand
One by one we will emerge again
