Had this buried away somewhere, the reopening of Notre Dame reminded me.
verse 1
They haunt the grey stone alcoves
Their screams mimic the choir singers
Towers that soar towards the heavens
House the hunchbacks and bell ringers
chorus 1
I didn't ask for what I am or do
Put your pity away, I don't want any from you
You can go your way or choose to stay
Thank god your not like us, and live a better day
verse 2
Dark clouds cover the sky like a cloak
Shadows poke the roof with accusing fingers
chasing away the piercing blades of light
Threaten the hunchbacks and bell ringers
chorus 2
I didn't ask for what I am or do
Put your pity away, I don't want any from you
You can go your way or choose to stay
Thank god your not like us, and live a better day
verse 3
Faith is the currency of the poor and hungry
The nun never forgot to bring hers
In the catacombs, the party got started
For the hunchbacks and bell ringers
chorus 3
I didn't ask for what I am or do
Put your pity away, I don't want any from you
You can go your way or choose to stay
Thank god your not like us, and live a better day
bridge
Before you take the time to judge
Judge the times you took before
verse 4
Stained glass windows herald in the dawn
Colours dance but no one lingers
Last to leave the sanctum sanctorum
Are the hunchbacks and bell ringers
chorus 4
I didn't ask for what I am or do
Put your pity away, I don't want any from you
You can go your way or choose to stay
Thank god your not like us, and live a better day
outro
Thank god
Your not like us
Give us a better day

Almost a fairytale this one. Has an epic feel to it. Very visual and cinematic.
This line jumped out at me: Shadows poke the roof with accusing fingers
You did well finding all those rhymes for bell ringers!
I like the lyric a lot, but I dislike what AI did with the music. Took something unique and vital and made it bland pop.
But a great lyric!

Totally agree, In my mind I had something in the lines of "Phantom" but Suno never complied, so I pulled the plug on it, best of a bad lot, I'm afraid.

Dang, Sid, brilliant writing; visual, poetic, meaningful and I love your tag, Sid! Now for a listen! Beautiful song; not what I imagined as I read the lyric, but beautiful! Nice lead guitar, too!
Write on,
