about

Sung from the perspective of Victor Hugo's Quasimodo, as a ghost observing the 2019 fire at Notre-Dame de Paris.

lyrics

Esmeralda, our world is turning
I tried to save you, but Our Lady's burning
The great cathedral is crumbling down
And fate awaits us, it won't be long now

High above the city, I've laid my claim
On a sanctuary preserved in vain
I'm alone here with the tolling bells
For whom they're ringing, only time will tell

Oh, and even angels die
Oh, and I will never know why

Esmeralda, in a hundred years
Who will remember, and who will care?
Did you ever love me? Well, I wish I knew
But our bones are dust now, and they'll be ashes soon
