THE BELL IS RINGING (REQUIEM)
IN A WORLD THAT ISN'T BLACK AND WHITE
IT CAN BE HARD TO TELL THE WRONG FROM RIGHT
IN A WORLD WHERE SHOCKING STORIES SELL
CAN YOU HEAR THE WARNING BELL
IT IS RINGING
OOOOOOOO
IT IS RINGING
FOR ALL OF US TO HEAR
IN A WORLD WHERE ALL THE NEWS SPINS FAST
SOMETIMES THE QUIET VOICE OF TRUTH COMES LAST
THERE'S A BOY WHOSE BLOOD HAS STAINED THE NIGHT
THERE'S A MAN WHO'S RUNNING FROM THE LIGHT
THE BELL IS RINGING
OOOOOOOO
IT IS RINGING
FOR ALL OF US TO HEAR
IN A WORLD WHERE FEAR IS EVERYWHERE
DOES THIS MEAN THAT WE SHOULD NO LONGER CARE
IN A WORLD WHERE WARNING BELLS ARE HEARD
FEAR CAN'T RULE
IT'S JUST A FOUR LETTER WORD
THE BELL IS RINGING
OOOOOOOO
IT IS RINGING
FOR ALL OF US TO HEAR
