Ring Them Bells
Ring Them Bells
Ring them bells, ye heathen, from
The city that dreams
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries
’Cross the valleys and streams
Oh, they’re deep and they’re wide
And the world is on its side
And the time is running backwards
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 those 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 deaf
Ring them bells for those who are left
Ring them bells for the chosen few
Who will judge the many
When the game is through
And ring them bells for the time that flies
For the child that cries
When innocence dies
Ring them bells, ye heathen, from
The city that dreams
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries
’Cross the valleys and streams
Oh, they’re deep and they’re wide
And the world is on its side
And the time is running backwards
So is the bride
Yeah, the time is running backwards
So is the bride
Oh, the time is running backwards
So is the bride
