Chimes Of Freedom

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Far between the sundown's finish and the midnight's broken toll We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing Those majestic bells and bolts struck shadows in the sound Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight Flashing for the refugees on the war-torn countryside And for each and every underdog soldier in the night And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing [Verse 2] Even though a cloud's white curtain in a far-out corner flashed The hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting Electric light still struck like arrows, firеd but for the ones Condemnеd to drift or else be kept on drifting Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight Flashing for the refugees on the war-torn countryside And for each and every underdog soldier in the night And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing [Verse 3] Starry-eyed and laughing as I recall when we were caught Can't find the tracks of hours we hanged suspended As I listened one last time and I watched with one last look Spellbound and swallowed 'til the tolling ended Tolling for the aching whose wounds cannot be nursed For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones and worse And for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
