Lyrics

d - c - em
there's a church nestled at the end of the road

and the patronage , they've come and gone

the graffiti the only one left to preach the word

boarded up windows not open to fellowship

and the steeple in it slumber has to ask

who's gonna ring this bell when i'm gone

the modern god is on the face of a dollar

and the people stop and worship at her altar

d c
we have lost the way
d c
to a better day

soon the door will open

but the steeple sit in slumber

and wonders

who's gonna ring this bell when i'm gone

"The modern god is on the face of the dollar" is a great line. But I'm not sure it's a new problem. I seem to remember a story of moneychangers in the temple. I absolutely love the "when I'm gone" line and what it implies.

good question. i also wonder who is ringing the bell now to bring the church to this state. i like the music and how the repitition of the chord progression makes each vocal line stronger than the last.
