Hammer of Heaven

Gather all the young ones

And listen as we tell

Of days of old when the earth was whole

Before the hammer fell

Once there were cities

Of steel and glass and stone

Where now lie only ruins

Of dust and ash and bone

The people of the old world

Growing fat and blind

Exalted thieves, fools and liars

Ignoring every sign

Then came days of darkness

Then came nights of flame

They knew their world was ending

And they wept in fear and shame

Hammer of heaven!

Hammer of heaven!

Hammer of heaven!

Now we few remain

To keep the fires alight

All is as it should be

All is set to rights

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!

Gather all the young ones

And make them listen well

Of days of old when the earth was whole

Before the hammer fell

Hammer of heaven!

Hammer of heaven!

Hammer of heaven!
