James - Ring The Bells

Sometimes this is like my personal anthem about non-belief. I know it could be argued that this isn't strictly about atheism, just about discovering that there is no interventionist god at play in our lives. I.e. it could be about realizing that the deist point of view is correct. However, to me, this is definitely an atheist anthem. I particularly take comfort in the ideas of self reliance and optimism shown in the final verse- if god's out there, he/she/it let's us fall and drown and somehow, we as a species have (through technology and scientific discovery) grown gills and fins (submarines) and wings (airplanes). Note: there will definitely be more James songs on upcoming entries.

Ring The Bells by James Ring The Bells 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
