The Sword - Hammer of Heaven lyrics

Gather all the young ones and listen as we tell Of days of old when the earth was whole Before the hammer fell Once there were cities Of steel, gla**, and stone But now lie all in ruins Of dust, ash, and bone The people of the old world Growing fat and blind Resolved to be as fools and liars Ignoring every sign Then came days of darkness Then came nights of flame They knew their world was ending They wept in fear and shame Hammer of Heaven Hammer of Heaven Hammer of Heaven Now we few remain To keep the fires alight All is as it should be All is set to right Now there are no cities No tyrants and no slaves The old world lies in ruins A new one in it's place Hammer of Heaven Hammer of Heaven Hammer of Heaven Gather all the youngs And make them listen well Of days of old when the earth was whole Before the hammer fell Hammer of Heaven Hammer of Heaven Hammer of Heaven
