That Bell Can't Be Unrung
Yellow like those laburnum trees in may
My courage, my honour dissipates
Ain't it just like me to leave it late
I know I am tempted
I know it is no good for me
I know I am weak
I know the place to which it leads
You the siren to my Ulysses
Nothing painless in this life
No such thing as fair and right
It's a truth that ain't worth knowing
It's a song that goes unsung
Some things can't be forgotten
That bell can't be unrung
They say you're determined
They say that you got company
They say you're undaunted
That you control my destiny
That you're cold and hold the keys to victory
But you're a chancer, a blaggard
Put down your shield and dagger for me
And go into the war
As unarmed as your enemy
Let them claim that you're brave as easily
Nothing painless in this life
Nothing blacker than the night
Some regret will burn forever
And can't be overcome
Some sin won't be forgiven
That bell can't be unrung
I'm shouting out loud to no avail
For I am in the belly of the whale
I know no help is coming
And my day is almost done
I'm in a battle not worth fighting
That bell can't be unrung
My courage, my honour dissipates
Ain't it just like me to leave it late
I know I am tempted
I know it is no good for me
I know I am weak
I know the place to which it leads
You the siren to my Ulysses
Nothing painless in this life
No such thing as fair and right
It's a truth that ain't worth knowing
It's a song that goes unsung
Some things can't be forgotten
That bell can't be unrung
They say you're determined
They say that you got company
They say you're undaunted
That you control my destiny
That you're cold and hold the keys to victory
But you're a chancer, a blaggard
Put down your shield and dagger for me
And go into the war
As unarmed as your enemy
Let them claim that you're brave as easily
Nothing painless in this life
Nothing blacker than the night
Some regret will burn forever
And can't be overcome
Some sin won't be forgiven
That bell can't be unrung
I'm shouting out loud to no avail
For I am in the belly of the whale
I know no help is coming
And my day is almost done
I'm in a battle not worth fighting
That bell can't be unrung
