Freedom

歌詞

We far between sundown's finish an' midnight's broken toll We ducked inside the doorway thunder crashing As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sound Seeming to be the chimes of freedom crashing Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight An' for each an' every underdog soldier in the night We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing Well, in the city's melted furnace, unexpectedly we watched With faces hidden while the walls were tightenin' As the echo of the weddin' bells before the blowin' rain Dissolved into the wild bells of lightnin' We're tollin' for the rebel, we're tollin' for the rake Tollin' for the luckless, the abandoned an' forsaked Hey, tollin' for the outcast, burnin' constantly at stake An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing, oh, yeah An' even though a cloud's white curtain in a far-off corner flashed Is the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly liftin' Where the electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones Condemned to drift or else be kept from driftin' We're tollin' for the searchin' ones, on their speechless, seekin' trail For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale An' for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing The starry-eyed an' laughin', I recall when we were caught Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended As we listened one last time an' we watched with one last look Spellbound an' swallowed is the tollin' ended Yeah, tollin' for the achin' ones whose wounds cannot be nursed For the countless confused, accused, misused Strung-out ones an' worse An' for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
