Lyrics - The Bells Of Acheron by Candlemass

A distant calling, a faint echo from the pastthe bells are still tolling, the message of sadness and death
In the city of
Acheronthe priests burned the
Bookworshipped false
Godsscoffed at the gooddesecrated the altarspat on the crossteared down the templesand laughed at their lossof faith ... of faith
Stone by stone, the ringing goes on and onattracting a memory, forgotten and nowhere to be found
Forged by the mightyadmired by the greatonce blessed by the holyprotected* by fate
Announcing the twilightthe wrath of the
Godsthe city of
Acheronwas drowned by the flood
The bells of
Acheron*
Abandoned 2nd verse
