Lyrics JOHNNYSWIM – Ring The Bells
Text:
Ring the bells, this time I mean it
Bid the hatred fare thee well
Give back the pieces of my Jesus
Take your counterfeit to hell
And not the kind you’re waiting for
We say mercy won’t be rationed here
That’s what we’re fighting for
If all is fair in love and war
Then what the hell is loving even for?
If we can’t sing it loud enough
We’ll keep on adding voices, oh
Ring the bells
Ring the bells
Ring the bells
Ring the bells
Move your feet you tiny people
You’ve been hiding for so long
Behind your statues and your steeple
Does that hit too close to home?
Oh, I got faith to move a mountain
And to watch that mountain move
It’s time for words to fall like thunder
Sound of justice is breaking through
If all is fair in love and war
Then what the hell is loving even for?
The world laughs and the martyrs sing
Our love breaks through the cavalry
Ring the bells
Ring the bells
Ring the bells
You call the boys, set the sun
And I ain’t the only one
Who was in the throne room of a kingdom
Where I found that I belong
I ain’t scared to face the fortress
I have seen the fall before
With broken bones you’ve built it
But it crumbles board by board
If all is fair in love and war
Then what the hell is loving even for? Oh
If we can’t sing it loud enough
We’ll keep on adding voices, oh
Ring the bells
Ring the bells
Ring the bells
Ring the bells
Ring the bells
Ring the bells
Ring the bells
Ring the bells
Ring the bells, this time I mean it
Bid the hatred fare thee well
Get back the pieces of my Jesus
Take your counterfeit to hell
