Intro:
(Sound of a lone bell tolling… slow, heavy echo… fade into distorted guitars)
Verse 1:
Whispers crawl beneath the walls, the night consumes my mind
Every step a hollow echo, every breath I find
Chains of fate drag me deeper, I can’t escape the scream
Dancing with the demons born from every shattered dream
Pre-Chorus:
Blood runs cold, the sky turns red
I hear the voices of the dead
Chorus:
Toll the bell, let darkness rise
Hear the cries across the skies
Shadows march where angels fell
This is the sound, the toll of hell
Verse 2:
I’ve walked through fire, I’ve walked alone
Found no mercy, found no home
The clock is ticking, the end is near
I face my nightmare, embrace my fear
Pre-Chorus:
Blood runs cold, the sky turns red
I hear the voices of the dead
Chorus:
Toll the bell, let darkness rise
Hear the cries across the skies
Shadows march where angels fell
This is the sound, the toll of hell
Bridge (Guitar Solo):
(Fast melodic solo with harmonized leads, heavy double bass drums)
Breakdown:
The bell keeps tolling… echo in my head
I rise from ashes, the living and dead
No mercy given, no escape tonight
I fight the darkness with all my might
Final Chorus:
Toll the bell, let darkness rise
Hear the cries across the skies
Shadows march where angels fell
This is the sound, the toll of hell
Outro:
(Bell tolls fade… echoing screams… slow guitar riff fades into silence)
