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
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
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
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?
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?
The 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 throneroom 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 fare thee well
Give back the pieces of my Jesus
Take your counterfeit to hell
