[vc_row][vc_column][vc_message message_box_color=”mulled_wine” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-quote-left”]Ring them bells, ye heathen, from the city that dreams,
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries cross the valleys and streams
For they’re deep and they’re wide and the world’s on its side
And time is running backwards and so is the bride.[/vc_message][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Ring them bells for all of us who are left,

Ring them bells for the time that flies,
For the child that cries when the innocence dies.[/vc_message][/vc_column][/vc_row]
