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 backward
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 the sacred cow

Chorus:

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 our innocence dies

Repeat Chorus

Ring them bells St. Catherine
From the top of the room
Ring them bellss 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
