Oh, what will you give us?
say the sad bells of U.S.

Indeed! You are smitten!
Say the bells of Great Brittan

It is such a pity!
Weep the weak bells of Italy

You did sing, you did dance,
say the smug bells of France

Now, where is your harmony?
Say the cold bells of Germany

It's a terrible plan!
Say the bells of Japan

Oh, don't be a whiner,
Say the red bells of China

Yes, your demise we ushered,
Say the hard bells of Russia

We will use violence
say the black bells of ISIS.

There can be no more borders
Said the New World Order

I will steal your last breath
Said the grey bells of death

We will treat you well
lied the hot bells of hell...


And, what will you give us?
Say the sad bells of U.S.

The bells of hell verse co-written
by Ian Woods... Thanks Ian!

Based upon the song
"The Bells of Rhymney"
sung by Pete Seeger, The Byrds and
Judy Collins on YouTube.

It is about a great coal mining disaster
and failure of the 1926 strike that resulted
from this tragedy.
