Ring them bells ye heathen

From the city that dreams

Ring them bell from the sanctuaries

Cross the valleys and streams

For they deep and they're wide

And the world's on it's side

And time is a-running backwards

And so is the bride

Ring them bells saint peter

Where the four winds blow

Ring them bells with an iron hand

For the people will know

Oh it's rush hour now

On the wheel of the plow

And the sun is a-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 willow weep

And the mountains are filled with lost sheep

Ring them bells

For the blind and the deaf

Ring them bells

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 saint Catherine

From the top of the roof

Ring the 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
