[Verse] The stone arches weep in gold, As dusk descends on quiet streets. The old bell stirs, a voice once lost, And calls the memory of years past. [Pre-Chorus] Not joy—it hums like a prayer half-forgotten, A thread that pulls from the heart’s unspoken. [Chorus] Ring, oh ring, through the hollowed air, Each note a name I cannot say. Ring, oh ring, through time and stone, The past returns, but never home. [Verse] The lanterns flicker, slow and low, Like eyes that watch from shadows deep. The children dance, but not for joy— They move as if in dream or sleep. [Pre-Chorus] Not joy—it hums like a prayer half-forgotten, A thread that pulls from the heart’s unspoken. [Chorus] Ring, oh ring, through the hollowed air, Each note a name I cannot say. Ring, oh ring, through time and stone, The past returns, but never home. [Bridge] I stood beneath the arch where we once stood, Your hand in mine, the sky too blue. Now silence sings where you were, And the bell remembers what I do. [Outro] Ring, oh ring, through the hollowed air, Each note a name I cannot say. Ring, oh ring, through time and stone, The past returns… but never home.
