Lyrics

Ring them bells, ye heathen From the city that dreams Ring them bells from the sanctuary 'Cross the valleys and the streams For the deep and the 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 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 willows weep And the mountains are filled With lost sheep Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf Ring them bells for all 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 that cries When its innocence dies Ring them bells St. Catherine From the top of the roof Ring them bells from the fortress For the lilies that bloom For the lines are long And the fighting is strong And they're breaking down the distance Between right and wrong
