The Bells

Gabriel Mahalem

Compositor: Gabriel Mahalem

The bells are ringing loud tonight
They shatter silence with their light
A thousand echoes in the air
Crystal whispers everywhere

Midnight calls from shadows deep
A secret song the stars will keep

The bells of the crystal castle chime
Announce the hour
Suspend the time
Oh Christmas night
Your spell is cast
Forever here
No future no past

Snow falls like diamonds on the stone
The castle hums
Alive
Alone
Icicles hum a glassy tune
Underneath the silver Moon

Midnight bows in reverent grace
The world transformed
A holy place
Every heart beats with the sound
The bells lift souls from frozen ground

The bells of the crystal castle chime
Announce the hour
Suspend the time
Oh Christmas night
Your spell is cast
Forever here
No future no past
