Far between su
ndown's finish
and midnight'
s broken toll
We ducked insi
de the doorway
, thunder cras
hing
As majestic be
lls of bolts,
struck shadows
in the sounds
Seeming to be
the chimes of
freedom flashi
ng
Flashing for t
he warriors, w
hose strength
is not to figh
t
Flashing for t
he refugees on
the unarmed r
oad of flight
And for each a
nd every under
dog, soldier i
n the night
And we gazed u
pon the chimes
of freedom fl
ashing
Even though a
clouds white c
urtain in a fa
r off corner f
lashed
And the hypnot
ic splattered
mist was slowl
y lifting
Electric light
s still struck
like arrows,
fired but for
the ones
Condemned to d
rift or else b
e kept from dr
ifting
Tolling for th
e searching on
es, on their s
peechless seek
ing trail,
For the loneso
me hearted lov
ers, with too
personal a tal
e
And for each u
nharmful gentl
e soul misplac
ed inside a ja
il
And we gazed u
pon the chimes
of freedom fl
ashing
Di di di di di
di di di di d
i di di
Di di di di di
di di di di d
i di dum
Starry eyed an
d laughing, as
I recall when
we were caugh
t
Trapped by no
track of hours
for they hang
ed suspended
And we listene
d one last tim
e, and we watc
hed with one l
ast look
Spellbound and
swallowed til
l the tolling
ended
Tolling for th
e aching ones
whose wounds c
annot be nurse
d
For the countl
ess confused,
accused, misus
ed, strung-out
ones and wors
e
And for every
hung-up person
in the whole
wide universe
And we gazed u
pon the chimes
of freedom fl
ashing
Di di di di di
di di di di d
i di di
Di di di di di
di di di di d
i di dum
