VERSE 2:
Take a look to the sky just before you die. It's the last time he will. Blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky. Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry. Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery. Hears the silence so loud. Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be. Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see.
CHORUS:
For whom the bell tolls. Time marches on. For whom the bell tolls.
