Once - Carol Of The Bells

Oh icy night
Coated in white
The world lays in dreams
In holy gleams.
But then the wind
Carries a tune
That will ignite
Deep dreaming minds.
Oh icy night
Unhallowed night
And with the clunk
The story began.
Tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tick tock

Lurking around
Searching the sound
Awake but asleep
Walk on the street.
Up to the trees
The melody increases
And through the spheres
The factory appears.
Darkness around
Creates the sound
Sleepwalker's night
Unhallowed night.
Tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tock

Hark from far and near
Now it’s the year
Where the creator appears.
Hark from far and near
Now it’s the year.
And no Herald will announce his advent
But you’ ll hear and feel his rising present.

Up to the stairs
darkness declares
Sleepwalker's way
To elder days
And then a light
Crushes the night
A looming gleam
chopper machines
And massive shapes
Humming our fate
In the old pulse
That hope creates!
Tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tick tock

And all machines
Working in streams
Transform all sins
Until the day begins
But in the dark
you will remark
the strange grinning man
singing again.
And what you heard
Is disappeared
But all along
humming the Song.
Tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tick tock
Tick tock tick tock

Hark from far and near
Now it’s the year
Where the creator is here.
Hark from far and near
Now it’s the year.
And no Herald will announce his advent
But you’ ll hear and feel his rising present.
And no Herald will announce his advent
But you’ ll hear and feel his rising present.

Hark from far and near
Now it’s the year
Forlorn in the dark
