[[ musically, a Christmas carol ]]
[[ this part in imitation of bells ]]
not this
fucking
time of
year a-
gain
[[ the sound of a church choir ]]
all the skies are gray and lifeless (gray and lifeless)
all the winds are sharp and cold (sharp and cold)
all the roads are wet and icy (wet and icy)
all my bones
two hundred six!
the pops and clicks!
the cracks and cricks!
are so old
someone else's strange religion (strange religion)
someone else's hopes and fears (hopes and fears)
someone else's gongs and jangles (gongs and jangles)
someone's god
three-headed -- weird!
one mainly beard!
all of them feared!
in my ears... [[ quiet, crescendo, and then the bang ]]
Bang! all the metal in your towers!
See if I fucking care
Bang! all the metal in your towers!
Give all the birds a scare
[[ a chorus imitating bells and singing in bell terms rather than Latin ]]
peal [[ repeated with combinations of the others ]]
nominal
quint
tierce
prime
hum [[ let this one be the last and lowest tone still ringing ]]
