[Verse 1]
Far between sundown and day and midnight's broken toll
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashin'
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
Seemin' to be the chimes of freedom flashin'

[Chorus]
Flashin' for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
Flashin' for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
And for each and every underdog or soldier in the night
And we gaze upon the chimes of freedom flashin'

[Post-Chorus]
Dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee-dee-dee, dee
Dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee-dee-dee, dee

[Verse 2]
Starry-eyed and laughin' is every moment you would doubt
With time trapped in arms twirlin' and suspended
As we listened one last night and we watched with one last look
Spellbound and swallowed 'til the tollin' ended

[Chorus]
Tollin' for the achin' ones whose wounds have not been nursed
For the countless persons that you misused, strung-out ones and worse
And for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
And we gaze upon the chimes of freedom flashin'
[Post-Chorus]
Dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee-dee-dee, dee
Dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee-dee-dee, dee
Dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee-dee-dee, dee
Dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee-dee-dee, dee
