[Verse 2] The bells rang out at dawn and dusk A warning woven through the air Homes were sealed with painted marks No prayers answered anywhere They burned the clothes, they swept the roads Told themselves it kept them clean But even breathing became a risk And faith dissolved in quarantine [heavy guitar solo interlude] [Bridge] No counting left, no names to say Just piles reduced to gray and brown A town that once had breathed and moved Now waited only to fall down [Chorus] Ring around the rosie, (rosie), (rosie) Pocket full of posies, (posies), (posies) Ashes, ashes, (ashes) inhaled to cull the masses We all fall down! [Outro] It's too late to run We all turn to ashes, ashes, (ashes)
