Graveyard Bell
(Lyrics – C. Webster, Music - M. Novak)
Ring Ring Ring - A graveyard bell
Which hole is it - No one can tell
The sound pierces - Gloomy night
No others hear it - deep fright
Eyes so heavy - are they sewed shut
The smell of wood - freshly cut
Breath brings in little - stale dead air
Skin tingles – so cold – Flesh is bare
CHORUS:
Ring ring ring, - it seems so real
Ring ring ring- I could even feel
Ring ring ring - true and surreal
Ring ring ring - what is revealed
Trying to sit up - head is struck
My shoulders held tight – what the fuck
Legs so far away - can I wiggle a toe
Arms pinned to side – they feel froze
My mind starts to process - Am I dead
Why so dark – Why so dread
Told not to worry – heaven is nice
Not for me – not at this price
CHORUS:
My sanity returns - where could I be
My body held tight - want to be free
Terror takes over - am I buried alive
Screams echo loudly - my heart might subside
My arms start to shiver - I hear a distant ring
Turning louder - ring, ring, ring
Ringing is closer - steady and clear
Can anyone hear - remove my fear
Its rings and rings - my arms grow tired
My phone keeps ringing – an answer required
My phone keeps ringing – an answer required
It’s just my phone ringing not a graveyard bell
An answer required
Thank god an answers required
