Ring them bells, ye heathen
|
From the city that dreams
|
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries
|
Cross the valleys and streams
|
For they're deep and they're wide
|
And the world's on its side
|
And time is running backwards
|
And so is the bride
|
|
Ring the bells St.Peter
|
Where the four winds blow
|
Ring them bells with an iron hand
|
For the people will know
|
Oh it's rush hour now
|
On the wheel and the plow
|
And the sun is going down
|
Upon the sacred cow
|
|
Ring them bells Sweet Martha
|
For the poor man's son
|
Ring them bells so the world will know
|
That God is one
|
Oh the shephered is asleep
|
Where the willows weep
|
And the mountains they are filled
|
With lost sheep
|
|
Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf
|
Ring them bells for all of us who are left
|
Ring them bells for the chosen few
|
Who will judge the many when the day is through
|
Ring them bells, for the time that flies
|
For the child that cries
|
When the innocence dies
|
|
Ring them bells St.Catherine
|
From the top of the room
|
Ring the bells from the fortress
|
For the lillies that bloom
|
For the lines they are long
|
And the fighting is strong
|
And they're breaking down the distance
|
Between right and wrong
|
|

Ring Them Bells
