The Hammer Song Lyrics

The Hammer Song lyrics

I set out on monday
The night was cold and vast
And my brother
slept

And though I left quite quietly
My father raged and
raged
And my mother wept

Now, my life was like a river
All sucked
into the ground
And then the hammer came down
Lord, the hammer came
down

Many miles did I roam
Through the ice and through the snow
My
horse died on the seventh day

I stumbled into a city
Where the people
tried to kill me
And I ran in shame

Then I came upon a river
And I
laid my saddle down
And then the hammer came down
Lord, the hammer came
down
It knocked me to the ground
And I said, "Please, please
Take me
back to my home town"
Lord, the hammer came down

Now I've been made
weak by visions
Many visions did I see
All through the night

On
the seventh hour an angel came
With many snakes in all his hands
And I
fled in fright

I pushed off into the river
And the water came
around
And then the hammer came down
Lord, the hammer came down
And it
did not make a sound
And I said, "Please, please
Take me back to my home
ground"
Lord, the hammer came down
