Lyrics Hammer of Heaven - The Sword

Hammer of Heaven

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, glass, 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
