8 Bells.
8 Bells would have sounded 5 minutes after the first bombs dropped.
8 Bells would end the Dog Watch
8 Bells never sounded.
The sound of bombs and the engines of Mitsubishi fighters filled the air instead.
2 Bells
2 Bells would be a peaceful Sunday morning.
2 Bells Never sounded.
The sound of confusion and distress combine with anti-aircraft fire.
4 Bells
4 Bells would greet families at the table
4 bells never sounded.
The sound of shock and men dying filled the harbor.
6 Bells
6 Bells informed a Nation
6 Bells sounded in sorrow
A Day that lives, in Infamy.
