about

To the shadowy figures in the music business.
A good bell is forged and hardened, hammered and pealed, sometimes cracked. But its voice is loud and unmistakable, reverberating from the inside out.

lyrics

The Bell

Tolling low has cracked my shell
Don't waste your hammer on a broken bell
A broken bell a broken bell
Don't waste your hammer on a broken bell

Shadows rise when they hear the call
Shine the light and you watch em fall
Watch em fall with the coming day
Shine the light and they fade away

chorus-
(Well) I let you in, to see inside
But you will never chain my mind
You will never chain my mind

verse
Cut your lies with a rusty tongue
Built your house with the deeds you done
The deeds you done got a ringing sound
Deeds you done gonna tear you down

(chorus)

Four to one copper and tin
Copper and tin for a shiny skin
A shiny skin shimmering new
Copper and tin to ring it true

Tolling low has cracked my shell
Don't waste your hammer on a broken bell
A broken bell a broken bell
Don't waste your hammer on a broken bell

(chrous)
