Bells Toll (©2020 Anders/O'Bitz) The auctioneer sets his price Rings his bell when it’s at a high His bell tolls It tolls and it tolls Each toll means a soul to buy Can’t drown out all their bitter cries His bell tolls It tolls and it tolls All told, what was the price Higher than the blue sky highest Bells toll Ringing below their cries Ringing below The minister stands on high Rings his bell that sways side to side His bell tolls It tolls and it tolls Each ring means a soul takes flight With the auctioneer’s bell it chimes Their bells toll They toll and they toll All told, what was the price Higher than the blue sky highest Bells toll Ringing below their cries All told, what was the price Higher than the blue sky highest Bells toll Ringing below their cries Ringing below Oh oh oh oh All told, what was the price Higher than the blue sky highest Bells toll Ringing below their cries Ringin’ below All told, what was the price Higher than the blue sky highest Bells toll Ringing below their cries Ringing below Ringing below What was the price

This Haunted Love (©2018 Anders/O’Bitz) Bad religion Born of lovers who could never love A child’s position Always lookin’ up to what’s above Unsettled debts become Unsettled debts become No decisions Haunted by the trap of up and down Weak conditions We can’t recognize the other’s sound Unsettled debts become Unsettled debts become Passed on down Ooh Oh This haunted love Can’t call it love Ooh oh Can’t rise above A haunted love Hallelujah Praise from below to above Our reunion Requires us to find another love Unsettled debts become Unsettled debts become Passed on down Ooh Oh This haunted love Can’t call it love Ooh oh Can’t rise above A haunted love Ooh Oh This haunted love Can’t call it love Ooh oh Can’t rise above A haunted love
