Ring Them Bells Lyrics

Ring Them Bells

Ring them bells ye heathen from the city that dreams
Ring them bell 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 a-runnin' backwards and so is
the bride

Ring them bells St. Peter where the four winds blow
Ring
them bells with an iron hand so the people will know
Oh it's rush hour now.
on the wheel of the plow
And the sun is a-goin' 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
For the shepherd is asleep
where the willow weep
And the mountain is filled with lost sheep

Ring
them bells - for the blind and the deaf
Ring them bells - all those who are
left
Ring them bells - for the chosen few
Who'll judge the many when the
game is through
Ring them bells - for the time that flies
For the child
who cries when innocence dies

Ring them bells St. Catherine from the top
of the roof
Ring the bells from the fortress for the lilies that bloom
For
the lines are long and the fighting is strong
And they're breakin' down the
distance between right and wrong
