The sun looked away
Toward the western side
But the sky above
Was still blue
The church bell tolled
One one-two
The day was fading
As we walked in a trance
The tarmac was still hot
Penetrating my shoe
The church bell tolled
One one-two
The prayers ended
The hymns too
Words were spoken
Sincere and true
The church bell tolled
One one-two
The dusk turned to night
Silence grew
The silence remained
All night through
But despite the silence
That was strange and new
When I closed my eyes
The church bell tolled
Inside my skull
One one-two…
