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
