It came across the land
Like a Spanish influenza
We were brought down to our knees
And we sat amongst the cracks
Where the pennies all were rollin'
Fallin' down the rich man's sleeve
They will ring the bells
They will come and find you
Bringing out the dead
You're bringing out the dead
They will ring the bells
They will come and find you
Bringing out the dead
Oh, no
And it's a long way down from where you're hiding
And it's a long way down...
All their heads were turned
Angled towards the sky
And the dark cloud descended on us quickly
And rain, it brought the flood
And the sound became a sea
And we offered Hail Marys
(One for you)
Nineteen for me
And it's a long way down from where you're hiding
And it's a long way down...
It came across the land
Like a Spanish influenza
We were brought down to our knees
And we sat amongst the cracks
Where the pennies all were rollin'
Falling down the rich man's sleeve
They will ring the bells
They will come and find you
Bringing out the dead
You're bringing out the dead
They will ring the bells
They will come and find you
Bringing out the dead
Oh, no
And it's a long way down from where you're hiding
And it's a long way down...
(La-de-da, ect.)
