Ring Out Bells - Big Country

Ring out bells

To guide the fallen

Ring out bells

To turn the heads

Cities crumble

At your calling

Into dreams that flow like sand

Here where the sky spills secrets

Just as the mist rolls home

The taste of your blood means nothing

To the beast who holds the bone

Ring out bells

To guide the fallen

Ring out bells

To turn the heads

Cities crumble

At your calling

Into dreams that flow like sand

Look how the flag is tattered

No trace of color left

Hopes have faded with it

And all the dreams we never met

Ring out bells

To guide the fallen

Ring out bells

To turn the heads

Cities crumble

At your calling

Into dreams that flow like sand

Outside a war is raging

Inside a tempest boils

How can you tell your children

Only victors share the spoils

Ring out bells

To guide the fallen

Ring out bells

To turn the heads

Cities crumble

At your calling

Into dreams that flow like sand

Ring out bells

To guide the fallen

Ring out bells

To turn the heads

Cities crumble

At your calling

Into dreams that flow like sand
