The Hammer Song歌詞

[ti:The hammer song]
[ar:Nick Cave]
[00:05]I set out on monday
[00:07]The night was cold and vast
[00:10]And my brother slept
[00:15]And though I left quite quietly
[00:17]My father raged and raged
[00:20]And my mother wept
[00:24]Now, my life was like a river
[00:26]All sucked into the ground
[00:29]And then the hammer came down
[00:33]Lord, the hammer came down
[00:39]Many miles did I roam
[00:41]Through the ice and through the snow
[00:43]My horse died on the seventh day
[00:48]I stumbled into a city
[00:50]Where the people tried to kill me
[00:53]And I ran in shame
[00:58]Then I came upon a river
[01:00]And I laid my saddle down
[01:03]And then the hammer came down
[01:07]Lord, the hammer came down
[01:12]It knocked me to the ground
[01:16]And I said, "Please, please
[01:20]Take me back to my home ground"
[01:26]Lord, the hammer came down
[01:32]Now I’ve been made weak by visions
[01:35]For visions did I see
[01:37]All through the night
[01:42]On the seventh hour an angel came
[01:45]With many snakes in all his hands
[01:47]And I fled in fright
[01:51]I pushed off into the river
[01:54]And the water came around
[01:56]And then the hammer came down
[02:00]Lord, the hammer came down
[02:05]And it did not make a sound
[02:09]And I said, "Please, please
[02:13]Take me back to my home ground"
[02:19]Lord, the hammer came down
[02:44]And I pushed off into the river
[02:47]And the water swelled around
[02:49]And then the hammer came down
[02:53]Lord, the hammer came down
[02:58]And it did not make a sound
[03:02]And I said, "Please, please
[03:07]Take me back to my home ground"
[03:13]Lord, the hammer came down
[03:17]But it throw me round and round
[03:22]And I said, "Please, please
[03:26]Take me back to my home town"
[03:32]Lord, the hammer came down
[03:36]And it knocked my to the ground
[03:41]And I got down on my knees
[03:44]And I said, "Please"
[03:46]I said, "Take me to my home town"
[03:51]Lord, the hammer came down
[03:56]And it did not make a sound
[04:00]And I said, "Please, please
[04:05]Take me back to my home ground"
[04:10]Lord, the hammer came down
[04:05][00:00]Hammer to fall___Queen
[00:12]3......
[00:13]2......
[00:14]1.....
[00:15]Here we stand or here we fall
[00:19]History won’t care at all
[00:23]Make the bed, light the light
[00:27]Lady Mercy won’t be home tonight
[00:31]You don’t waste no time at all
[00:34]Don’t hear the bell but you answer the call
[00:38]It comes to you as to us all
[00:42]We’re just waiting
[00:43]For the hammer to fall
[00:53]Oh every night and every day
[00:57]A little piece of is falling away
[01:01]But lift your face, the Western Way-
[01:05]Build your muscles as your body decays
[01:08]Toe your line and play the game
[01:12]Let the anaesthetic cover it all
[01:16]Till one day they call your name
[01:19]You konw it’s time for the hammer to fall
[01:30]Rich or poor or famous for
[01:32]Your trouth is all the same
[01:42]Lock your door but the rain is pouring
[01:45]Through your window pane
[01:51]Baby now your struggle’s all in vain
[02:54]For we who grow up tall and proud
[02:57]In the shadow of the Mushroom Cloud
[03:01]Convinced our voice can’t be heard
[03:05]We just wanna scream it louder and louder
[03:09]What the hell we fighting for?
[03:12]Just surrender and it won’t hurt at all
[03:16]You just got time to say your prayers
[03:19]While you’re waiting the hammer to fall
