Saint Frankenstein Mission After Midnight

A day like any other day rings out midnight again
On the muffled peals hammered out loud by bells
Not heard over the thunderous storms performance
Simultaneously taking place outside the madness

The Saint Frankenstein non-denominational church is cursed
As the bells toll their cruel rings heard over the silent screams
Every time a priest jumps from the high tower by coincidence
Which is frequently and no one ever seems to leave a note 
Perhaps they were in a hurry or too busy on their mission

There is a mystery about the tower never told
Involving the bells and the mathematics of it all
Regarding one person vs. two and their remainders
How can you have a nun or priest jump from up there
But when you look again there is still a figure in the window?
