I remember I walked these hallways all alone "As His shelter, inhospitable must be God's soul" I could even touch the silent pregnant air As the images of torture flashed into my head Suffering tales in the dawning light retold Reflected through the stained glass of old Shadows dancing in the flickering candle light They whispered to me, blood, death, sacrifice (Ab) Hominibus iniquis libera me, Domine Adoramus te, facemus in tuo nomine In the middle of spellbinding choirs Mesmerizing the faithfull souls I knew that, out there, as a lightning bolt Science flared in the cold dark world [Chorus] Oh, in the darkness flood Comes the deepest fear (I) only see the idols' faces 'round Feeling the smell of death I hear the Monastery Bells... In the dungeons, wet and cold, Innocents injustly paid their tolls In the pit the pendulum worked Where an excruciating death was brought (Chorus)...tolling the night away (Lead - Garavello) The nightmares I was exposed Won't let me go Beasts unleashed and tantalized You'll never realize... Those dark days are gone Remembrances unfold I bear this scar upon my soul Guilty I'll stand alone Oh Monastery... Oh...(8x) Monastery Bells
