Ring Them Bells
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ring them bells ye heathen from the city that dreams
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries 'cross the valleys and streams
For they're deep and they're wide, and the world's on its side
And time is running backwards, and so is the bride
Ring them bells Saint Peter where the four winds blow
Ring them bells with an iron hand so the people will know
Oh its rush hour now on the wheel and the plough
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 they are filled with all His 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 Saint Catherine from the top of the room
Ring them from the fortress for the lillies that bloom
For the lines are long and the fighting is strong
And they're breaking down the distance
Between right and wrong
