Gather all the young ones
and listen as we tell
the days of old
when the earth was whole
before the hammer fell

once there were cities
of steel and massive stone
but now lie all in ruins
of dust and 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 alite
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 its place

Hammer of Heaven
Hammer of Heaven
Hammer of Heaven

oh

oh

gather all the young ones
make them listen well
from days of old
when the earth was whole
before the hammer fell

Hammer of Heaven
Hammer of Heaven
Hammer of Heaven
