Ring Them Bells

Ring them bells yea 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 it's side

And time is running backwards and so is the brideRing them bells, ring them bells

Ring them bells, ring them bellsRing them bells Saint Peter where the four winds blow

Ring them bells with an iron hand so the people will know

That the rush hour is now on the wheel and the plow

And the sun is going down upon the sacred cowRing them bells, ring them bells

Ring them bells, ring them bellsRing them bells Saint Martha for the poor man's son

You gotta ring them bells so the world will know that God is one

For the shepherd is asleep where the willows weep

And the mountains are filled with little lost sheepRing them bells for the blind and the deaf

Ring them bells for all of us who are leftRing them bells for the chosen few

Who would judge the many when the game is through

Ring them bells for the time that flies

For the child that cries when innocence diesRing them bells Saint Catherine from the top of the room

Now ring them bells from the fortress from the lilies that bloom

For the lines they are long and the fighting is strong

And they're breaking down the distance between the right and wrongRing them bells, ring them bells

Ring them bells, ring them bells
