*this is an homage to Edgar Allan Poe. if you haven't yet read "The Bells" i suggest VERY STRONGLY that you do so*

Listen to the bells
ancient bells
O! eternal malady their melody foretells
Dissonant existences
The void in which you dwell
Dolling out deliverance for the angels fell
Hear the horrors dissonant; hear the choir swell
Listen to the tales
Of the ruinous they tell
Doomed into delirium in tune to ancient bells
Weeping and still wonting for
Bells, bells, bells!!!
For the dull and dreary rolling
Of the bells…

Tolling of the bells one more time for Edgar Allen Poe.

A well done piece simulating Poe's original piece and works best when reading right after reading Poe.

Especially after undergoing a "bells" overload, this feels more like a somber echo.
