Artist : Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds Song : The Hammer Song
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
