James - Ring The Bells Lyrics






Ring, ring the bells
Wake the town, everyone is sleeping
Shout at the crowd, wake them up
This anger's deeper than sleep

Got to keep awake to what's happening
I can't see a thing through my ambition
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me

Break, break the code
Concentrate, let the doors swing open
See through all your walls, all your floors
Now you're in deeper than sleep

Got to keep awake to what's happening
I can't see a thing through my ambition
I no longer feel my God is watching over me
Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
This is not the end, a new beginning
I no longer feel my God is watching over me

When you let me fall, grew my own wings
Now I'm as tall as the sky
When you let me drown, grew gills and fins
Now I'm as deep as the sea
When you let me die, my spirit's free
There's nothing challenging me

  1. W.... 1....

    Beautiful song

  2. m.... b....

    X files brought me here ❤️... I was born in 88 and grew up on the series I needed a soul boost being a kid I couldn't afford much this was it TV 📺😂...

  3. s.... ....

    Is it my turn now ?

  4. D.... C....

    Love the song both version in fact this and the one in the XFiles

  5. S.... K....

    Thing song always gives me strength. Don't care for most of their other stuff, but I would play this while firing a bullet into my brain.

    This video is fucking insane too. It's beautiful.

  6. G.... H....

    Giovanni Ribisi and Jack Black brought me here.

  7. S.... M....

    Mendengar lagu ini teringat masa SMA dulu, tinggal di kota kecil Tarutung, tempat yang tenang duduk di rumah peninggalan Belanda sambil mendengar lagu indah ini.

  8. m.... h....

    This tunes reminds me of been stoned to bits choring saxo or GTI alloy wheels 😀

  9. M.... H....

    saw James last week in Edinburgh,, they were just as good as they were 20yrs ago....brilliant gigg...

  10. I.... P....

    Hey guys where from x-files I'm a dumb 14 year old lol

  11. J.... R....

    Always wanted to dance like Tim Booth

  12. l.... 0....

    Does anyone knows any more songs like these or that are in these genre because I really freaking love this song

    l.... 0....

    Just check out 'James' music... they did so many good tunes. Although they were around in the 90's, with Oasis, Radiohead and lots of other quality bands... James are quite unique. Massively underrated... One band not to miss from the 90's are 'The Bluetones'... ;D

  13. P.... M....

    Que buenos recuerdos..🤔 que buen tema !

  14. j.... j....

    face meat lol

  15. S.... G....

    Spiritual pop rock at their best 😇

    Услышал в Секретных материалах, полюбил навсегда! Сечете о чем я?)

  19. G.... .....

    ντρακαρις

  20. S.... ....

    I'm so glad The X-files introduced me to this song over 20 years ago. It's amazing when I think about it. For over twenty years I've been listening to a song that I heard in a TV show. The first time I heard this was (I think) 1999 when I was really young. It helped me through my teenage depression (I suffer from a mild case of autism). It helped me when I felt lost as a father. Through changes I had to make in life, like moving far away from my family and friends. Through getting a diagnose for a chronic disease. Through being cheated on and eventually through divorce. It was always hard for me to connect with my feelings, and especially of those around me. This song helped me in many ways. I owe so much to this one song, which is something I never thought I'd say. Thank you James for giving me something I can share with thousands of people for years to come.

  21. M.... H....

    This is a wonder music is so a beautiful , alwalys make me cry!

  22. R.... ....

    best spiritual band of all time.

  23. T.... T....

    Only thing better than this is their acoustic version.

  24. c.... ....

    GRACIAS

  25. S.... P....

    I knew this song when it was played in a chapter "D.P.O: (In the tv show The X Files)

  26. M.... ....

    Great song especially in X-Files:)

  27. S.... N....

    In 94 or 95 me, my three brothers and a group of friends went to see James do a warm up gig in Torquay before they played a huge show at Milton Keynes, that gig is still one of the, if not the greatest I ever had the pleasure to see.

  28. k.... ....

    the 2020's will be the next 1990's. we are facing a new world, as we were before the new millenium. in the 1960s we were as well. these decades will be marked as the height of modern human expression in the far future

  49. D.... E....

    Parr Hall vid.

  50. U.... B....

    Isn't it funny how searching for this track's title here results all sorts of Xmas and Christian themed songs? The very definition of IRONY 😂
    Man, the universe sure does work in mysterious ways.

  51. T.... ....

    This not the version from the X-Files, but it’s still good!

  52. T.... K....

  55. �.... -....

    Ring, ring the bells
    Wake the town, everyone is sleeping
    Shout at the crowd, wake them up
    This anger's deeper than sleep

    Got to keep awake to what's happening
    I can't see a thing through my ambition
    I no longer feel my God is watching over me
    Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
    This is not the end, a new beginning
    I no longer feel my God is watching over me

    Break, break the code
    Concentrate, let the doors swing open
    See through all your walls, all your floors
    Now you're in deeper than sleep

    Got to keep awake to what's happening
    I can't see a thing through my ambition
    I no longer feel my God is watching over me
    Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming

    gracias James!!!

  71. U.... ....

    This song changed my life forever many years ago. Please, don't get too busy with everything ''normal'' so that your ''soul'' is forgotten. DON'T DO THAT! Go deeper and deeper into your feelings. Discover yourself. Search. Go on your own spiritual journey. Read Poetry. Play Music. Watch Movies. THINK. DANCE. FEEL. LEARN. GROW. HEAL. You will not be understood by the majority, who scurry from day to day. They will not understand you. But apply yourself. It is glorious to have your soul and mind in harmony with the universe. But it takes a life-time of development. And the centre of your focus should be Love, Peace and Harmony. Love is the core.

    And whatever you do, DO NOT drift into religion. Religion is the product of the mistakes made by social conservatives down the generations. Fuck Religion, it's stupid. Open your soul and head straight for the heart of the fire. There are no true ''holy'' words to explain it. It just is. Concentrate, and let your soul sing transcendental music to you, and let it make you beautiful.

    U.... ....

    ....................... what more I can say to that ?? Just : thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!

    U.... ....

    Thank you, too. :-)

    U.... ....

    Sometimes when I get lucky I find a post like this one. Thank you :)

    U.... ....

    @USERNAMEfieldempty Couldn't have typed it better myself!

    U.... ....

    Nothing wrong with religion if you find the
    right one that works for you. This song
    is written totally from a Buddhist/advaita Hindu
    perspective

    Ring, ring the bells
    Wake the town
    Everyone is sleeping
    Shout at the crowd
    Wake them up
    This anger's deeper than sleep.

    Got to keep awake to what is happening
    I can't see a thing through my ambition,
    I no longer feel my God is watching over me
    Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
    This is not the end, a new beginning
    I no longer feel my God is watching over me.

    Break, break the code
    Concentrate
    Let the doors swing open
    See through all your walls
    All your floors
    Now you're in deeper than sleep.

    Got to keep awake to what is happening
    I can't see a thing through my ambition,
    I no longer feel my God is watching over me
    Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming
    This is not the end, a new beginning
    I no longer feel my God is watching over me.

    When you let me fall
    Grew my own wings
    Now I'm as tall as the sky
    When you let me drown
    Grew gills and fins
    Now I'm as deep as the sea
    When you let me die
    My spirit's free
    There's nothing challenging me.

    HAHA, that's so funny. I discovered this song from X-Files as well. Awesome, feel good Atheist song. Not too many of these around. I love it.

    h.... ....

    yes!!! x files is so damn good and this song is amazing.

    h.... ....

    Glad you recognized the theme of the lyrics of "Ring the Bells": almost no one else does.
    This is one of the best pieces of atheist culture I have come across. We need more artifacts in the culture like this, that people can sing along to, or look at in the forms of paintings and so on. Christian art has dominated two millennia, it is now time, that we have woken up from religion to spread the word and influence other people helping them escape religion.
