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 it's 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 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
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
Ring them bells
For the blind and the death

Ring them bells
For all of us who are alone
Ring them bells

For the chosen of you through
Ring them bells
For the time that flies

Ring them bells
Ring them bells
Ring them bells

Ring them bells
Ring them bells
