What The Bell Knows (Suno & Dragons)

Mythic Nordic Folk, gothic dark rock, tribal folk

[Intro Spoken - sparse frame drum, distant violin, wind]
On the road to Blackroot Hollow...

[Verse 1]
I ride out ahead while the others ride slow
Eye patch comes off when there's no one to know
Show me the road, you, dragon in my arm
The forest is wrong and I'd rather be warned

The pines lean close, listeners hung on a word
The grey in the grass is a color I've heard
Three mornings no sun and a bell in the trees
Tell me what you feel... I'll tell them what we see

[Pre-Chorus - drums tighten]
The cold in my ribs is not weather
The shift in my skin is not chance
He is reading the air like a letter
He is warning me with the dance

[Chorus - violin opens, drums full]
And the bell tolls
And you fold
Small at my sternum, gone cold
And the bell tolls
And you turn
Coiled to my heartbeat, you hold
Something is buried, something is wrong
Something out there hunts our song

[Verse 2]
You used to surface for fun and for fight
Now you go quiet, you go out of sight
That isn't fear, no, I've felt fear before
This is knowledge I've only seen in war

You shift at each ringing, a flinch and a hush
You answer the bell like your blood knows it's rust
This is a secret I should not keep alone 
My elders taught me, what is shared is known

[Chorus]
And the bell tolls
And you fold
Small at my sternum, gone cold
And the bell tolls
And you turn
Coiled to my heartbeat, you hold
Something is buried, something is wrong
Something out there hunts our song

[Bridge - drums drop out, violin solo, male voice surfaces clearly, call and response]
She and I live within one skin
He thinks I protect them from him
She learns tonight that we are kin
I also protect him from them

[Final Chorus - fuller, drums and violin in harmony, not fracture]
And the bell tolls
And we fold
Closer now, no longer cold
And the bell tolls
And we turn
Bound a little tighter, we learn
Something is buried, something is wrong
Together, at last, we are singing the same song

[Outro Spoken - drum heartbeat slowing, violin holding one note, then a hum]
Alright then...
Let's go tell them what we know...
