Hammer To Fall

Here we stand or here we fall
History won't care at all
Wake the dead, fight the fight
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight.

You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
It comes to you as to us all
You're just waiting for the hammer to fall
Hey!
Hey!
Yeah!
Yeah, the hammer to fall!

Every night, and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face, the western way, babe
Build your muscles as your body decays.

Toe your line and play their game
Let the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
You know it's time for the hammer to fall
Hey! The hammer to fall!

Rich or poor or famous
For your truth it's all the same
Lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your windowpane
Baby now your struggle's all in vain
What the hell we fighting for?
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all.

You just got time to say your prayers
While you're waiting for the hammer to, hammer to fall
The hammer to fall
Hey? Yeah?
The hammer to, hammer to, hammer to fall
Give it to me one more time!
In your dreams, mate.
