Hammer to Fall

“《Hammer to Fall》實際上的主題是生與死，意識到死亡是活着的一部分。“Brian May在他的網頁上寫道，”錘子的落下只是死神正在做他的工作的一個標誌！“ ^[1] 

Here we stand or here we fall

History won't care at all

Make the bed, light the light

Lady Mercy won't be home tonight

You don't waste no time at all

Don't hear the bell but you answer the call

It comes to you as to us all

We're just waiting

For the hammer to fall

Oh every night and every day

A little piece of you is falling away

But lift your face, the Western Way-

Build your muscles as your body decays

Toe your line and play the game

Let the anaesthetic cover it all

Till one day they call your name

You know it's time for the hammer to fall

Rich or poor or famous for

Your trouth is all the same

Lock your door but the rain is pouring

Through your window pane

Baby now your struggle's all in vain

For we who grow up tall and proud

In the shadow of the Mushroom Cloud

Convinced our voice can't be heard

We just wanna scream it louder and louder

What the hell we fighting for?

Just surrender and it won't hurt at all

You just got time to say your prayers

While you're waiting the hammer to fall
