Missionary Bell

Summer's vine is knotted
Twisting in the ground
Wild fennel in the wetlands
Nightfall hurling down
Hear them in the valley
They called me when you fell
What else is as heavy as a missionary bell?
A missionary bell
A missionary bell
What else is as heavy as a missionary bell?

There was nothing you could tell me
No way to describe
The puppets and the pirates
And their banquet at your side
Tell me, truly, truly
For once, truly tell
A single thing as heavy as a missionary bell
A missionary bell
A missionary bell
A single thing as heavy as a missionary bell

To shiver by your bedside
To walk on broken shells
Where on land could you run to
Where there's no missionary bells?
They're clanging out the coastline
They're sending out the ships
Across fathomless waters
Across the next abyss
Between the waves, you floated
Between the waves of sound
Down in discord's undertow
Where every ship is drowned
It tolls every muscle
It takes every cell
Not to buckle under the weight of a missionary bell
A missionary bell
A missionary bell
Not to buckle under the weight of a missionary bell
