Intro
Morning in Paris, the city awakes
To the bells of Notre Dame
The fisherman fishes, the bakerman bakes
To the bells of Notre Dame
To the big bells as loud as the thunder
To the little bells soft as a psalm
And some say the soul of the city's
The toll of the bells
The bells of
Notre
Dame
Dark was the night when our tale was begun
On the docks near Notre
Dame
Four frightened gypsies slid silently under
The docks near Notre Dame
But a trap had been laid for the gypsies
And they gazed up in fear and alarm
At a figure whose clutches
Were iron as much as the bells
G7sys
The bells of
Notre
Dame
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
Judge Claude Frollo longed
To purge the world
Of vice and sin
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
And he saw corruption
Ev'rywhere
Except within
Dies irae (Dies irae), dies illa (dies illa) (Day of wrath, that day)
Solvet saeclum in favilla (Shall consume the world in ashes)
Teste David cum sibylla (As prophesied by David and the sibyl)
Quantus tremor est futurus (What trembling is to be)
Quando
Judex est venturus (When the Judge is come)
Quantus tremor est futurus (What trembling is to be)
Dies irae (Day of wrath)
Quando Judex est
venturus (When the Judge is come)
Dies irae (Day of wrath)
Solvet saeclum in favilla (Shall consume the world in ashes)
Dies irae, dies illa (Day of wrath, that day)
See there the innocent blood you have spilt
On the steps of Notre
Dame
Now you would add this child's blood to your guilt
On the steps of Notre Dame
You can lie to yourself and your minions
You can claim that you haven't a qualm
But you never can run from
Nor hide what you've done from the eyes
The very eyes
of
Notre
Dame
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
And for one time in his life
Of power and control
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
Frollo felt a twinge of fear
For his immortal soul
Just so he's kept locked away
Where no one else can see
Even this foul creature may
Yet prove one day to be
Of use to me
Now here is a riddle to guess if you can
Sing the bells of Notre
Dame
Who is the monster and who is the man?
Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells
Bells, bells, bells, bells
Bells of
Notre
Dame
