Hammer to Fall (Live at Fire Fight Australia, ANZ Stadium, Sydney, 16th February 2020) lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here we stand and here we fall
History won't care at all
So 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, yeah
It comes to you as to us all
And we’re just waiting
For the hammer to fall, yeah

[Verse 2]
Oh, every night, every day
A little piece of you is falling away
So lift your face, the Western Way, baby
Build your muscles
As your body decays

[Chorus]
Tow the line and play their game
Yeah, let the anesthetic cover it all
'Til one day they call your name
Until it's time for the hammer to fall
[Bridge]
Rich or poor or famous
For your truth is all the same
Oh no, oh no
Lock your doors, rain is pouring
Through your window pane (Oh no)
Baby, now your struggle's all in vain, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
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 we fighting for?
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
You just got time to say your prayers
Until it's time for the hammer to fall

[Outro]
Ooh, yeah
The hammer to fall, yeah
We're just waiting for the hammer to
Hammer to, hammer to fall!
Give it to me one more time!
