Hear the Bell Tolling

Hear the bell tolling... hear her cry,
The raven's calling... stands nearby.
The shadow is creeping, nearer still,
Patiently waiting, to gather his kill.
As darkness, engulfs me, I feel so alone,
To carry this burden, like a heavy millstone.

The time has been set, for death to appear.
I've felt his presence, his menace is clear.
O for my loved one, how I do grieve.
To see the future, that I believe.
And know that he's coming, to visit us al.
When it is our time, to hear his call.

Hear the bell tolling... hear her cry,
Hear the raven... hear the sigh ...

The bell is tolling, loud and clear.
The people will gather, together for fear.
Our suffering will end, our God will descend,
Our hearts will gladden, on this we depend.  ~Seaopal
