Call of the Bells

Hark at the bells, hear what they tell
Calling to say: ships' on their way
Danger is near, pirates are here
Soon to attack, no turning back
Pistol and sword, readied aboard
Hear how they sing, of plundering
Then lanterns light, blinding and bright
Now cannons flare, filling the air

Oh how they pound, striking the ground
Crews reach the land weapons in hand
Caught in the brawl the people fall
Framed by the fire flames soaring higher
All around the smoke and sounds of fighting
And the powder barrels are igniting

Choked in their smell
On tolls of bell
Ding dong ding dong

Those of us who can take up position
We will never cower in submission
Let the bells ring, more they will bring
With every peal, never to kneel

We built a home, made it our own
Ours to uphold, we must be bold
If this sould be our elegy
We shall die well, so says the bell
Raising our swords we race toward them
Blades in the darkness, oh, how they spark
If this is the day our world is ended
All who sail shall know it was defended

Hark at the bells, hear what they tell
Our final stand, on golden sand
On pirates roam to every home
Ding dong ding dong
