Ring them bells yea 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 it's side
  And time is running backwards and so is the bride
  Ring them bells
  Ring them bells
  Ring them bells
  Ring them bells!
    Ring them bells Saint Peter where the four winds blow
  Ring them bells with an iron hand so the people will know
  That the rush hour is now on the wheel and the plow and the sun is going down upon the sacred cow
  Ring them bells
  Ring them bells
  Ring them bells
  Ring them bells
    Ring them bells Saint 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 willows weep
  And the mountains are filled with little 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 would 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 bells from the fortress from the lilies that bloom
  For the lines they are long and the fighting is strong
  And they're breaking down the distance between right and wrong
    Ring them bells
  Ring them bells
  Ring them bells
  Ring them bells!
