Lyrics
Hear the song
The dead bells sound
Mermen chant his dirge around
Wash him bloodless
Smooth him fair
Stretch his limbs and sleek his hair
Hear the song
The dead bells go
Mermen swing them to and fro
In the wormless sand shall he
Feast for no foul glutton be
Hear the song
The dead bells chime
Mermen bring the tone and time
We must with a tombstone brave
Shut the shark out from his grave
Hear the song
The dead bells toll
Mermen dirgers ring his knoll
Such a slab will we lay over him
All the dead shall rise before him
Hear the song
The dead bells boom
Mermen lay him in his tomb
