YOU GUYS, I DON'T KNOW WHY I SPENT TWO HOURS DOING THIS!
This probably isn't the best place to put this (as it's neither an omake or even a drabble), but where else?
Seriously, I'm not sure why. There's a few adapted covers of this song on youtube, altered to fit Yuri, Flynn, or Estelle (and one of Raven being silly and singing about how crappy his singing is). And somehow the idea planted itself in my head to make one for Letha. I thought it would die but then found myself working on this. And when I finished went, "Now I have to post it somewhere, but WHERE?"
I included the original for comparison, and made a few notes on lines where I've seen the lyrics written both ways in different websites (or personally think it sounds like a different word).
I hope this isn't a sugar induced mistake... And for once I actually feel a need to make a disclaimer: THE SONG IS NOT MINE

Ring a Bell (original by Bonnie Pink)
Reaching out for no man's land
To take a breath and take a chance
I'd walk a thousand nights to change the world
Where to go? When to start?
Who to trust? What to say?
Found them all, just need someone to share
x
It's now in the dusk every day to carry what (on?)
Ain't so strong, I ain't so strong to go
Living in the past is not the way to live
I wish you could hear me say that I miss you
x
Why were we there back to back?
Why were we there face to face?
I must be the light when you're in the dark
If you lose me somewhere, and your tears are in the air
I will ring a bell until you feel me by your side
x
Looking up into the sky, looking for the reason
Why I'm here, and why you can't be here
Who's to hate? Who's to blame?
Who's to hurt? Who's to love?
Who just asked 'Why we can't we be the same?'
x
Try to believe walking down the lonesome road
Ain't so far, I ain't so far from you
Staying the way you are means solitude
I wish you were here and shook off my fear
x
Why were we there back to back?
Why were we there face to face?
I must be the light when you're in the dark
If I lose you somewhere, and I'm still hanging in there
I will ring a bell until you feel me by your side
x
What has been in the mix too long?
There's the (no?) peace when you're at war
Heads or tails, You and I
Light and dark, Ups and downs
What has been in the mere goal? What's there to divide us?
If you're hurt, cry and say 'can't you see your my other half?' (Can't you see your might of the heart?)
x
Why were we there back to back?
Why were we there face to face?
I must be the light when you're in the dark
If you lose me somewhere, and your tears are in the air
I will ring a bell until you feel me by your side

Ring a Bell (Letha Vitae version)
Searching through a strange land
To find what's lost and start again
To rebuild the life I used to know
Where to go? When to start?
Who to trust? What to say?
This pain I've learned has helped me to grow
x
At day's end I wonder why I must fight so hard
For another's cause, it isn't my fight to win
But every morning finds me once again
Ready to give all that I've got for them
x
Why were we there back to back?
Why were we there face to face?
I must be the light when you're in the dark
If you lose me somewhere, and your tears are in the air
I will ring a bell until you feel me by your side
x
Looking up into the sky, looking for the reason
Why I'm here, and what lies behind
But for now this is me
And I'll try to stay strong
Did you know it's much more than a game?
x
How can it be that I feel like I'm alone
Even though I walk this road with them
Silence hurts more than words ever could
I wish I could tell them, but I'm filled with fear
x
Why are all my words just lies?
I can't look you in the eye
Who will be my light when I'm in the dark?
If I lose you somewhere and I'm still hanging in there
Someone ring a bell so I'll return to your side
x
I don't believe in what they say
That light is good and dark evil
All I see is a world
That needs both night and day
Wars never have a happy end, hearts can't heal through revenge
Look inside, you can find the strength to keep moving on
x
Why were we there back to back?
I can't look you in the eye
There'll always be a light somewhere in the dark
If we get lost somewhere, there is no reason to fear
A bell will ring until we're together again.
