Chimes of Freedom

[Verse 1]
Far between the sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashin'
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashin'
Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
And for each and every underdog soldier in the night
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'

[Verse 2]
Even though a cloud's white curtain in a far-off corner flashed
And the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly liftin'
Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting
Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
For the lonesome hearted lovers with too personal a tale
And for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'

[Chorus]
Na, na na na na na (Oh)
Na na na, na na na na na na

[Verse 3]
Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail
The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder
That the clinging of the church bells blew far into the breeze
Leaving only bells of lightning and its thunder
Tolling for the aching 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
And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'

[Chorus]
Na na na, na na na na na (Oh)
Na na na, na na na na na na
Ah na na na, na na na na na (Oh)
Na na na, na na na na na
