For Whom the Bell Tolls

Sharpen the blade and start the fire Set ablaze your selfish desire Alas, I have learned of your hidden goals It is you for whom the bell tolls Call it hate, call it detestation For your love is the only abomination That burdens, tortures, and destroys my soul It is you for whom the bell tolls This godforsaken attempt to smash all my dreams 'Tis only a mere tip of the iceberg it seems It is like I am stranded on a deserted atoll It is you for whom the bell tolls Life can never redo what has already been done I will secure my self and I will ready my gun If only I could run to Utopia's knoll It is you for whom the bell tolls Tighten the hatches and prepare to make sail Ahead is a hurricane with a full force gale I believe as my ship yaws, pitches, and rolls It is me for whom the bell tolls
