[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] 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 are just waiting For the hammer to fall [Verse 2] 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] [Verse 3] Tow the line and play their game Let the anaesthetic cover it all Untill one day they call your name You know it is time for the Hammer to Fall Rich or poor or famous for Your truth it is all the same Lock your door but rain is pouring Through your window pane 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 want to scream it louder and louder [Chorus] [Verse 4] 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 are waiting for the Hammer to Fall
