From the recording Courage of Fools

The vibe and lyrics of the song circle themes of time, destruction and transformation. Song development was influenced by a plug-in instrument I acquired that enables me to create rhythms and textures using both tabla drums and the sitar. This is not my typical music genre but I was very happy with the outcome.

Lyrics

Three Bells Toll
By David Husted

Lyrics

{intro}

V1
This song……
heard out beyond
this open doorway
Three bells……. toll

{bell tolls}

V2
Silence runs
Sweating cold
Lake bed shattered
Rising flood

Pre Ch
And it won't stop now
Wailing wall of sound

whispering

Ch
A history
This mystery
She's shivering
Om Kreem Kali-kay-ai Nama-ha

Just give to me
One victory
Over suffering
Om Kreem Kali-kay-ai Nama-ha

{post ch break}

V3
The crow……….
and eagle know
Where rivers rush
And mountains throw

{bell tolls}

(rain patter bridge}

Pre Ch
And it won't stop now
Wailing wall of sound

Whispering

Ch
A history
This mystery
She's shivering
Om Kreem Kalikayai Nama-ha
Just give to me
One victory
Our suuffering
Om Kreem Kalikayai Nama-ha
