Ring them bells ye heathen, from the (x02230) city that d _ reams _
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries, 'cross the valleys and _ _ _ streams
For they're deep and they're w _ ide and the world's on it's side _
And (200232)time is a-running b ackwards and s o 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 n _ ow on the wheel of the plough _
And the sun is going down upon the sacred _ cow
| _ _ (xx2232) | _ _ (x02233) | _ _ _ |
Ring them bells sweet Martha, for the poor man's _ son _
Ring them bells so the world will know that god is none _
For the shepherd is a _ sleep _ where the willows weep _
And the mountains are filled with lost s _ heep
Ring t hem be lls, _ for the bli _ nd and the de af _ _
Ring t hem be lls, _ for tho _ se who are le ft _ _
Ring t hem be lls, _ for the cho _ sen fe (x04432)w _ _
W _ ho will judge the many, _ when the game is through _ _
R _ ing them bells, _ for the t _ ime that flies _ _
For the c _ hild who cries, _ when i _ nnocence dies _ _ _
Ring them bells, St. Catherine, from the top of the roof _
Ring them from the fortress for the lilies that _ _ _ bloom
For the lines that are long and the fighting is strong _
And they're breaking down the distance between right and wrong| _
