No ringing bell to tether you
No siren's call to feather you
No time left to weather you
Wake up, wake up, wake up!
No sacred shrieks to shear you down
No secret scorn to salt that frown
No shiny shells to shatter the ground
Wake up, wake up, wake up!
No silver tongue to bellow you
No slight of hand to settle you
No magic means to mellow you
Wake up, wake up, wake up!
No more promises that whither like skin
No more vows that wrinkle in the wind
No more contracts written in sin
Wake up, wake up, wake up!
Poppy fields and candied lies
Spiral smiles with winking eyes
Powdered wigs and alibis
Lavish praise will hypnotize
No ringing bell
No siren's call
No time left
No time at all
