Lightfoot Gordon Ring Them Bells Lyrics

Ring Them Bells Lyrics

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
