Fahrenheit 9/11 movie - Chimes Of Freedom lyrics

rate me

Song by Bruce Springsteen<br /><br>

Well far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll <br>

We ducked inside the doorway thunder crashin' <br>

As majestic bells of boats struck shadows in the sun <br>

Sayin' it may be the chimes of freedom flashin' <br>

<br>

Flashin' for the warriors whose strength is not to fight <br>

Flashin' for the refugees on their unarmed road of flight <br>

And for each and every underdog soldier in the night <br>

We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin' <br>

<br>

Well in the city's melted furnace unexpectedly we watched <br>

With faces hidden here while the walls were tightenin' <br>

As the echo of the wedding bells before the blowing rain <br>

Dissolved into the wild bales of lightnin' <br>

<br>

Yeah tollin' for the rebel yeah tollin' for the raked <br>

Tollin' for the luckless the abandoned and forsaked <br>

Yeah tollin' for the outcasts burnin' constantly at stakes <br>

And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin' <br>

<br>

And then through a cloud-like curtain in a far off corner flashed <br>

There's a hypnotic splattered mist was slowly liftin' <br>

Well electric light still struck like arrows <br>

Fired but for the ones condemned to drift or else be kept from driftin' <br>

<br>

Well tollin' for the searching ones on this speechless secret trail <br>

For the lonesome haunted lovers with too personal a tale <br>

And for each young heart for each channeled soul misplaced inside a jail <br>

Yeah we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin' <br>

<br>

Well starry eyed and laughin' I recall when we were caught <br>

Trapped by an old track of vows for the hands suspended <br>

As we listened one last time and we watched with one last look <br>

Spellbound and swallowed "Has the tollin' ended?" <br>

<br>

Yeah tollin' for the achin' ones whose wounds cannot be nursed <br>

For the countless confused accused misused strung out ones at worst <br>

And for every hung out person in the whole wide universe <br>

We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin'<br>

<br>
