Ring Them Bells Lyrics

Ring Them Bells lyrics

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 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 and the plow

And the sun is going down upon that 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 shepherd is asleep where the willows weep

And the mountains 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 game is through

Ring them bells for the time that flies

For the child that cries when innocence dies



Ring them bells St. Catherine from the top of the room

Ring them from the fortress for the lilies that bloom

Oh, the lines are long and the fighting is strong

And they're breaking down the distance between right and wrong
