Hammer To Fall lyrics

Here we stand or here we fall
History don't care at all
Make the bed, light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight

CHORUS
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
We're just waiting
For the hammer to fall

Oh every night, and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face, the Western Way --
Build your muscles as your body decays

CHORUS
Tow the line and play their game
Let the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
Then it's time for the Hammer to Fall

Rich or poor or famous for
Your truth it's all the same
Oh no, oh no
Lock your door 'cause rain is pouring
Through your window pane
Oh no
Baby now your struggle's all vain

For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder

CHORUS
What the hell are 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
Waiting for the Hammer to hammer to hammer to fall
