Ring Them Bells

Lyrics

Ring them bells, ye heathen
 From the city that dreams
 Ring them bells from the sanctuaries
 And ross the valleys and streams
 For they're deep and they're wide
 And the world's on its side
 And time is 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 and the plow
 And the sun is 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
 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 fight is strong
 And they're breakin' down the distance
 Between right and wrong
