A slow, hymn-like song built around piano.
The words
Bells are called to ring out for the lost and the faithful as the world nears its end.
The singer calls for bells to ring out across a world that seems close to its end, on behalf of the lost, the blind, the faithful and those who have been forgotten. Each verse widens the circle of who needs to hear them, mixing sorrow with a stubborn hope. The tone is solemn and prayerful. It is a slow, hymn-like song built around piano, one of the most quietly moving moments on the album.
