Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Soldier of fortune
He's a man of war
Just can't remember
What he's fightin' for
Start a revolution
Right before your eyes
When you hear the big bang
Don't you be surprised
[Verse 2]
Showdown at big sky
Darkness at high noon
Showdown at big sky
That day may be soon
[Verse 3]
And people, people
Can you hear the sound?
From every village and every town
(Let the bells ring out) Ring those bells
(Hear the bells ring in)
(Let the bells ring out) Everybody
(Keep them ringin', ringin')
[Verse 4]
Can't predict the future
Can't forget the past
Feel like any moment
Could be the last
All you believers
Standin' inside this home
Can't you see it comin'
Shootin' out across the moon
[Verse 5]
(Save this place)
In the valley of tears
By the river of time
(From the weapons race)
In the Book of David
In the holy light
(Who is laid to waste?)
It will be written
By the children of eden
(I said, save this place)
And the Holy Ghost
[Verse 6]
Showdown at big sky
Darkness at high noon
Showdown at big sky
That day may be soon
[Verse 7]
And people, people (Ooh)
Can you hear the sound?
From every village and every town (Ooh)
(Let the bells ring out) Ring those bells
(Hear the bells ring in) Ring those bells
(Let the bells ring out) Everybody
(Keep them ringin', ringin')
[Verse 8]
(Save this place)
In the valley of tears
By the river of time
(From the weapons race)
In the Book of David
In the holy light
(Who is laid to waste?)
It will be written
By the children of eden
(I said, save this place)
And the Holy Ghost
And the Holy Ghost
[Verse 9]
Showdown at big sky
Darkness at high noon
Kiss tomorrow goodbye
And that day could be soon
[Verse 10]
Give us the strength (Ooh)
Give us the wisdom
And give us tomorrow
[Verse 11]
(Let the bells ring out) Ring those bells
(Hear the bells ring in)
(Let the bells ring out) Oh, those people gonna ring those bells, yeah
(Keep them ringin', ringin')
(Let the bells ring out) Ring out
(Hear the bells ring in) Ring in
(Let the bells ring out) Oh, those people gonna ring those bells, yeah
(Keep them ringin', ringin')
(Let the bells ring out)
(Hear the bells ring in)
(Let the bells ring out)
(Keep them ringin', ringin')
