Hammer to Fall Lyrics

Yeah
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

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
Yeah, we're just waiting for the hammer to fall, yeah

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, yeah

Tow the line and play their game
Yeah, let the anesthetic cover it all
'Til one day they call your name
You know 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)
Oh, lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your window pane
(Oh no)
Hey yeah, baby, now your struggle's all in vain, yeah

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 and louder

What the hell are we fighting for?
Ah, just surrender and it won't hurt at all
You just got time to say your prayers
Yeah, while you're waiting for the hammer to, hammer to fall

Hey, yes
Let's get on the floor, yeah
Hammer
You know
Hammer to fall

Yeah

Hey, woo hoo
Ha ha, ha ha

I've been waiting for the hammer to fall
Give it to me one more time

What is the Meaning of Hammer to Fall?

Strap in, folks, because we're on a rock 'n' roll ride through the inevitability of doom. Queen's electrifying jam is less about carpentry and more about the ticking clock of life and global tension. Picture this: you're living it up, pumping iron, playing by the rules, but guess what? That pesky hammer of fate doesn't care if you're rich or a chart-topper; it's coming for us all. With a backdrop of Cold War anxieties and Mushroom Clouds looming large, it's a cheeky reminder to scream a little louder because hey, why whisper when impending doom is knocking? So next time you hear this track, remember: dance like nobody’s watching… because they’re probably not—they’re too busy waiting for their own hammer to fall. #RockTheDoom #QueenMagic
