Hammer To Fall (Live in Paris, June ’98)

Yeah!

[Verse 1]
Here we stand or here we fall
History won't care at all
Make the bed, light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Every night and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face, the western way
Oh, build your muscles
As your body decays

[Chorus 2]
Tow your line and play their game
Lеt the anaesthetic covеr it all
Till one day they call your name
With all the love
The hammer has to fall

[Bridge]
Rich or poor or famous
For your truth is all the same
(Oh no, oh yeah, oh no)
Oh, lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your window pane
(Oh no)
Baby, now your struggle's all in vain

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
For he 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 3]
What the hell we fighting for?
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
Just got time to say your prayers
While you're waiting
For the hammer to fall

[Uptempo guitar solo, band instrumental]

[Outro]
Hey, it's...
It's gonna fall
Hammer, you know it
You know it
Yeah, hammer to fall
Yeah, yeah
Hammer to, hammer to
Hammer to fall

Thank you
