Midnight Bells
The bells tolled till midnight
another soul lost the fight
At the wake many tears were shed
funerals are for the living, not the dead
the eulogy was done by Pastor Fred
who spoke of fire and brimstone instead
At the cemetery we bid our last goodbye
and laid him to rest under a sad gray sky
