Ring Out Bells (2012 Reissue Bonus Track)

(album: The Crossing - 1983)

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
