Back to intro one last time
Mama knew my mind, would know this song
Mama knew my mind, would know this song
I muscle, holler and I moan
I muscle, holler and I moan
Black chords in the night
Daddy burnt the dirt, but the seed survived
Daddy burnt the dirt, but the seed survived
I muscle, holler and I moan
I muscle, holler and I moan
Black chords in the night
I know that old Catholic tone
I know that old Catholic tone
The heavy bells
The heavy bells
The heavy bells
The heavy bells are tolling out a tune
The heavy bells
The heavy bells
Oh, God
I felt that metal move
You're gonna wake up
You're gonna wake up
You're gonna wake up
Find out the bells
Toll their tune for you, too
Black sounds shake upon his folds
Black sounds shake upon his folds
Hear that nerve hound moan
I hear that nerve hound moan
Chop talkin in the night
Blood and honey fixed to his beard
Chaser to the taste
I've come to fear
Hear that nerve hound moan
I hear that nerve hound moan
Chop talkin in the night
I know that old Catholic tone
I know that old Catholic tone
The heavy bells
The heavy bells
The heavy bells
The heavy bells are tolling out a tune
The heavy bells
The heavy bells
Oh, God
I felt that metal move
You're gonna wake up
You're gonna wake up
You're gonna wake up
Find the heavy bells
Toll their tune for you, too
All hail, heavy bells
All hail, heavy bells
All hail, heavy bells
All hail, heavy bells
All hail, heavy bells
All hail, heavy bells
