Came the names of the Bells
With which Abhorsens'd bring heaven
And necromancers- hells.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ranna is the true name
That the first of bells does bear.
The name 'Sleeper' she too does claim-
gives sleep to those unaware.
Mosrael is the second one,
The Waker; at her call
Dead walk again under the sun,
While to Death, living fall.
The Walker, Kibeth, she is next,
Giving movement to the Dead.
But wielder, be warned- when she's vexed,
'Tis you who'll walk instead.
Larger than the three before
Dyrim, the Speaker rings-
Speech to the Dead for to restore-
Or still tongues of living things.
Giving the Dead mem'ries and thoughts,
Erasing those of those alive,
Mad'ning the mind so that it rots-
In these things Belgaer Thinker strives.
The favorite of the Abhorsens,
The one who binds the Dead ones' wills
And them to the wielder's will bends-
Saraneth the Binder, whom Death's hopes kills.
The final bell of the seven
And the most powerful of all-
Those who hear her, she then sends them
To Death- Astarael, the Sorrowful.
