Manhein Steamroller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hark how the bells,
sweet silver bells,
all seem to say,
throw cares away
Christmas is here,
to young and old,
meek and the bold,
Oh how they pound,
raising the sound,
o'er hill and dale,
telling their tale,
Gaily they ring
while people sing
songs of good cheer,
Christmas is here,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,
On on they send,
on without end,
their joyful tone to every home
Dong Ding dong ding, dong Bong

Believe me or not I actually searched this song! I was at one of those super cool christmas light shows and there was a certain station that would flow perfectly with the lights! I think the song is incredible and kinda underrated!

I have never met a version of Carol of the bells that I didn't like and this one is no exception. I always enjoy it when it comes on the radio around Christmas time.
Tim Ruskowski
Heard this for the first time on the radio today. Sounds so cool!

Yes! Yes! Yeesss! At last I have found the version that I have been looking for. After looking for Trans-Siberian and Mettalica's version of this, I said there is one more orchestra to look up; Mannheim Steamroller, and here it is. Awesome!!

@Skittles & Phinninix It's*

Just so you know, those were both Trans-Siberian. That person just straight-up lied and said it was Metallica, and it pisses me off that it's STILL not taken down because it keeps misleading people

@Skittles & Phinninix Do you mean It's????
