The Bell Rings

THE BELL RINGS

YOU MOVE AROUND
THE CROWD GOES WILD 
FOR ACTION 
FOR BLOOD
FOR A FALL

YOU BOB AND WEAVE
YOU MOVE IN 
AND RETREAT
YOU STRIKE 
AND GET STRUCK

YOU STAGGER
AND REGAIN YOUR STANCE
THE BELL RINGS
AND YOU RETURN TO YOUR CORNER
AWAITING THE NEXT ROUND

ANOTHER BELL
ANOTHER ROUND
UNTIL THE FINAL BELL
WHICH YOU WILL NOT HEAR
AND WHICH WILL NEVER END
