Names That Fell

I've got my eyes peeled on a watchtower
That bent then broke four years ago
There were ten to fifteen men inside
That screamed their stories were untold
I looked one right dead in the eye
While two more said 'please don't let us go'
But the truth be known I didn't mind
Watching that old belfry fall
1 was vengeance, 2 was hate
3 was envy and 4 was rape
5 and 6 was lust and lies
These were the names
That fell when the bell...
Yeah…
Yeah
Their knuckles white
Their faces red
And all in unison they said
'You'll never win
You're way too old
Your father's sin
Gave us your soul'
But two men stood up beside me
We stepped back to watch and see
That belfry start to sway and leave
And all in unison we all screamed
1 was vengeance, 2 was hate
3 was envy and 4 was rape
5 and 6 was lust and lies
These were the names
That fell with the bell's chime
Upon the rock on which we stand
I see the belfry in the sand
Four years have gone
The sand is old
It's covered all my sins with mold
And steady comes the midnight tide
To slowly crack the belfry's pride
Free men and I tell stories told
Of our fathers' sin still trapped inside
1 was vengeance, 2 was hate
Still, we pray they'll never wake
3 and 4 was envy and lies
And these were the names
That fell with the bell's chime
5 was greed, 6 was lust
7 was a name I'll never trust
8 and 9 was envy and pride
10 was the jealousy that binds me
11 and 12 was pride and betrayal
13 was the sloth that killed me
14 was the judgement that tried
These were all the names
That fell with the bell's chime
