„Through the mad mystic hammering of the wild ripping hail,The sky cracked its poems in naked wonder,That the clinging of the church bells blew far into the breezeLeaving only bells of lightning and its thunderStriking for the gentle, striking for the kind,Striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind,An’ the poet and the painter far behind his rightful timeAn’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.“

„Far between sundown’s finish an’ midnight’s broken toll,We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing.As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds,Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing.Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight,Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight,An’ for each an’ ev’ry underdog soldier in the night,An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.“
— Bob Dylan
