Lyrics: [Verse 1] Stone around me, cold and high, I watch the wounded Paris sky, the bells are breathing in the dark, each iron voice becomes a spark. Below the square still smells of flame, her shadow dances through my name, I close my eyes, but still I see the fire she awakened in me. [Instrumental] [Pre-Chorus] Mon âme brûle dans la pierre, a hidden prayer in empty air, if heaven hears the bells I ring, then let my broken spirit sing. [Chorus] Stone heart, burning soul, bells above me start to roll, through the night and through the flame, I am more than fear and shame. Stone heart, burning soul, let the dark cathedral know, if she hears me from below, I will rise where shadows go. [Verse 2] The gargoyles guard my silent pain, their faces carved in wind and rain, they know the words I never speak, the tears that never touch my cheek. I am the ghost behind the wall, the nameless one who hears them all, but when her fire kissed the night, my prison filled with golden light. [Instrumental] [Pre-Chorus] Je ne suis pas seulement la peur, there is a man beneath the tower, if love can live where darkness lies, then maybe stone can learn to rise. [Chorus] Stone heart, burning soul, bells above me start to roll, through the night and through the flame, I am more than fear and shame. Stone heart, burning soul, let the dark cathedral know, if she hears me from below, I will rise where shadows go. [Bridge] Not beast, not monster, not a curse, not heaven’s shame, not hell’s reverse, only a heart behind the stone, crying out to not be alone. Esmeralda, dans la nuit, can you hear the bells in me? Every note and every cry climbs the dark and breaks the sky. [Instrumental Solo] [Chorus] Stone heart, burning soul, bells above me start to roll, through the night and through the flame, I am more than fear and shame. Stone heart, burning soul, let the dark cathedral know, if she hears me from below, I will rise where shadows go. [Final Chorus] Stone heart, burning soul, let the bells of sorrow roll, through the fire, through the rain, I will never hide again. Stone heart, burning soul, Notre Dame has heard me call, si mon cœur survit ce soir, I will rise beyond the dark.
