martyn joseph - chimes of freedom lyrics

[verse 1]
far between sundown’s finish and midnight’s broken toll
we ducked inside the doorways, thunder crashin’
as majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
seemin’ to be the chimes of freedom flashin’
yeah, flashin’ for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
flashin’ for the refugees on their unarmed road of flight
and for each and every underdog soldier in the night
yeah, we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin’

[verse 2]
oh, in the city’s melted furnace, unexpectedly we watched
with faces hidden while the walls were tightenin’
as the echo of the wedding bells before the blowin’ rain
dissolved into the wild bells of the lightnin’
yeah, tollin’ for the rebel, yeah, tollin’ for the rake
and tollin’ for the luckless, the abandoned and forsaked
yeah, tollin’ for the outcast, burning constantly at stake
and we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin’

[chorus]
oh, woah, woah
oh, woah

[verse 3]
and then through a cloud’s white curtain in a far+off corner flashed
the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly liftin’
well, electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
condemned to drift or else be kept from driftin’
well, tollin’ for the searching ones, on their speechless, secret trail
for the lonesome+hearted lovers with too personal a tale
and for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
yeah, we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin’
[verse 4]
well, starry+eyed and laughing, i recall when we were caught
trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
as we listened one last time and we watched with one last look
spellbound and swallowed ’til the tollin’ ended
yeah, tollin’ for the achin’ ones 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
yeah, we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin’

[chorus]
oh, woah, woah
oh

[outro]
and for every hung+up person in the whole wide universe
yeah, we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin’
