Well I recall his parting words
Must I accept his f ate?
Or take myself far from this pl ace
I thought I he ard a black bell toll
A little bird did s ing
Man has no ch oice
When he wants everything
Chorus
]
We'll rise above the scarlet ti de
That trickles down through the mou ntain
And separates the widow from the brid e
(same as first verse)
Man goes beyond his own decision
Gets caught up in the mechanism
Of swindlers who act like kings
And brokers who break everything
The dark of night was swiftly fading
Close to the dawn of the day
Why would I want him
Just to lose him again
