Chimes Ring the Bell

Chimes ring the bell
Intone, For whom the bell rings?
 
Alight my heart
Damn my soul
 
That is for whom the bell does toll
Enter the night 
 
Ignore the day
Ancient chimes 
 
Ringing like clocks 
Stop, stop, stop
 
Tick, tock, tick, tock
In tune with this lonely heart
 
For whom does this bell ring?
Chimes upon the wall
 
I wake, I sleep
Their mantra continues
 
Albeit my heart, my soul
Damned none the less 
 
For my heart alights 
For one lost to time
