Names That Fell
I got my eyes pealed on a watchtower
That bent then broke four years ago
Their were 10 to 15 men inside
That screamed their story were untold
And I looked one right dead in the eye
While two more said please don't let us go
But the truth be known I didn't mind
Watching that old belfry fold
1 was vengeance 2 was hate
3 was envy 4 was rape
5 and 6 was lust and lies
These were the names
The fell when the bell chimed
Their knuckles white
Their faces red
And all in unison they said
"You'll never win
You're way to old
Your father's sin gave us your soul"
But two men stood up beside me
We stepped back to watch and see
That belfry start to sway and lean
All in unison we screamed
1 was vengeance 2 was hate
3 was envy 4 was rape
5 and 6 was lust and lies
These were the names that fell with the bell's chime
Upon a rock on which we stand
I see that belfry in the sand
4 years have gone
The sand is old
It's covered all my sins with mold
And steady comes the midnight tide
To slowly crack the belfry's pride
3 men and I tell stories told
Of our father's sin still trapped inside
1 was vengeance 2 was hate
Still we pray they'll never wake
3 and 4 was envy and lies
These were the names that fell with the bell chime
5 was greed 6 was lust
7 was the name I'll never trust
8 and 9 was envy and Pride
10 was jealousy that binds me
11 and 12 was vanity and betrayal
13 was the sloth that killed me
14 was the judgment that tried
These were all the names that fell with the bell chime
