Ring them bells, ring them bells
Ring them bells for all of us who are left
Ring them bells, ring them bells
Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf
Ring them bells Saint Martha for the poor man's son
Who would judge the many when the game is through
You gotta ring them bells so the world will know that God is one
For they're deep and they're wide and the world's on it's side
Ring them bells, ring them bells
And they're breaking down the distance between the right and wrong
That the rush hour is now on the wheel and the plow
For the child that cries when innocence dies
Now ring them bells from the fortress from the lilies that bloom
Ring them bells, ring them bells
For the shepherd is asleep where the willows weep
Ring them bells for the time that flies
Ring them bells, ring them bells
Ring them bells for the chosen few
Ring them bells Saint Peter where the four winds blow
And time is running backwards and so is the bride
Ring them bells Saint Catherine from the top of the room
And the mountains are filled with little lost sheep
And the sun is going down upon the sacred cow
Ring them bells with an iron hand so the people will know
For the lines they are long and the fighting is strong
