NICK CAVE – THE HAMMER SONG Lyrics

Artist: NICK CAVE
Song: THE HAMMER SONG

Miscellaneous
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
