Hammer to Fall (Fire Fight Australia, Sydney, Australia, 2020) Songtext
von Queen + Adam Lambert

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

(You don′t waste no time at all)
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call, eh
(Comes to you as to us all)
And we're just waiting for the hammer to fall, yeah

And every night, every day
A little piece o′ you is falling away
So lift your face the Western way
Build your muscles as your body decays

(Toe your line and play their game)
Yeah, let the anaesthetic cover it all, yeah
′Til one day they call your name
Until 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 doors, the rain is pouring
Through your window pane
(Oh no)
Baby now your struggle's all in 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

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
Oh, yeah
The hammer to fall

Just waiting for the hammer, the hammer, the hammer to fall

Give it to me one more time
