[Verse 1]
Born of the darkness from granted eyes beyond
Dreams of the deep mist that hide a scratching song
There's a primal fear that death is near, writhing now in wait
Am I past the veil? Consciousness failing, I hear a wicked fate
[Chorus]
Can you hear it? Can you hear it?
The tolls of madness ringing
Do you fear it? Do you fear it?
An ancient choir is singing
All consuming, calling to me
In a dream, it's a thorn I can't dig out
Can't you hear it too?
If you listen close now
[Verse 2]
Lulled to the madness, I have seen what I can't know
Glimpsed at a nightmare, to fester and to grow
In this empty home of flesh and bone, a presence left unseen
Lying awake in bed, my hollowed head will call back through the dream
[Chorus]
Can you hear it? Can you hear it?
The tolls of madness ringing
Do you fear it? Do you fear it?
An ancient choir is singing
All consuming, calling to me
In a dream, it's a thorn I can't dig out
Can't you hear it too?
If you listen close now
[Bridge]
I feel it humming deep inside the walls
The dark vibrations
Whispered acts unspeakable, horrible, reachable, audible
I'm pressured to awaken my own sight
To generations
Ancient ones malevolent, reckoning, pestilent, beckoning
[Chorus]
Can you hear it? Can you hear it?
The tolls of madness ringing
Do you fear it? Do you fear it?
An ancient choir is singing
All consuming, calling to me
In a dream, it's a thorn I can't dig out
Can't you hear it too?
[Post-Chorus]
Can you hear them calling now?
Can you hear it? Can you hear it?
Do you fear it? Do you fear it?
