Ring the Bells

Ring the bells, this time I mean it Bid the hatred, "Fair, thee well" Give back the pieces of my Jesus Take your counterfeit to hell Bang the drums! This means war Not the kind you're waiting for We say mercy won't be rationed here That's what we're fighting for All is fair in love and war And what the hell is loving even for? If we can sing it loud enough We'll keep on adding voices up 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 steeples 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 breaking through If all is fair in love and war Then, what the hell is loving even for? World laughs and the martyrs sing But love breaks through the cavalry Ring the bells Ring the bells Ring the bells Ring the bells You called me boy instead of son And I ain't the only one Was in the throne-room of a kingdom Where I found that I belong I ain't scared to face a fortress I have seen them 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? If we can't sing it loud enough We'll keep on adding voices up 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, "Fair, thee well" Give back the pieces of my Jesus Take your counterfeit to hell
