Silence Broken by the Bells of a new century

It was snowing, so dark and then that sound
I heard bells ringing, morning of the first day
One minute past midnight, my love was breaking 
Turn of this century, marked by burning pyres
Isolation, damnation as the fires start
I cried my tears, frozen throughout my being
Need love from a patient lover of my heart
You're the dream and ever lover of my soul

“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...
I could walk through my garden forever.”
                                  Alfred, Lord Tennyson
