That bell is so beautifully ominous. Bells are definitely among my favorite instruments, second to piano.
I honestly wished I stumbled upon this thread in the middle of the night, as the song would've certainly felt terrifying.
As I closed my eyes and thought, while listening to the tune, I imagined a dark void, or cave. A massive crow like demon was trying to sway someone to release it. They wouldn't speak, but refused. The crow's voice was dark, and foreboding. It held a sense of evil about it, yet it spoke calmly, and without wrath.

Also, I guess I have a hard time telling what instruments are by their sound - never realised it was bells before. Though I thought of chimes. Similar.

Damn, what an amazing description. And also accurate, in several regards. It's from 1997 PC adventure game Riven, and plays during one of the bad endings: you're trapped in a dark void forever. Named after the villain Gehn, whom you as the player must trap in said dark void. In the world of Myst (Riven is the first sequel), books can link you to worlds. This book, however, is a Trap Book, and while the image on the first page appears to be a world to link to (called Ages), placing one's hand to transport would leave one simply in an eternal blackness. [quote]It held a sense of evil about it, yet it spoke calmly, and without wrath.[/quote] Gehn himself speaks that way. I'll link his main cutscene above. And while he's certainly a tyrant, and in fact a madman (he wrongly believes he creates the worlds he wrote to, rather than linking to pre-existing ones), he's one hell of a smooth talker; his vocabulary and accent are both very sophisticated, and his temperament remains controlled during this speech.
