運命だけ頼りにして静かな嵐を彷徨う
夜がきても朝がきても いつも
誰がために鐘は鳴る? 我を忘れ叫べば
ただただ君が好き きらきら光まみれ

I am trying to translate above and I am confused at the grammar. But this is what I got:
Relying only on fate, a quiet storm awakens
Even when night comes, even when morning comes, always
Who's sake will the bell ring for? If I forget to scream
that only, only, I love you we'll be covered in light.
 
誰がために鐘は鳴る is the official translation for the novel "For whom the bell tolls". You would normally expect to see の instead of が there. Lyrics often use "literary" forms or other grammar that you wouldn't expect to see in speech.

Otherwise: Xを忘れる can only mean "to forget X", not "X forgets" (something). 我を忘れる I think is actually similar to the English "forget oneself". I guess 我を忘れ叫べば would be something along the lines of "if I forget myself (lose control) and cry out..."
 
誰がために is read がために, not だれがために.

誰がために鐘は鳴る is the Japanese title of Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls.

静かな嵐を彷徨う means 静かな嵐の中を彷徨う. Also, you misunderstood the meaning of 彷徨う.

我を忘れ叫べば = 我を忘れ叫べば
The object of 叫ぶ is 我, not 忘れる.

I think the one who is covered in light is "you".
