Hammer of a Gun Lyrics

I got the news today

While the sky was filled with gray

And the rain began to fall

Go and run away

Hide your guilty face

Cause it's coming for us all

Think about what you've done

Pray to see the sun

Shine on everyone

From the dark and to the light

We should have done what we knew was right

Now we're trapped behind these walls

Under the hammer of a gun

Say goodbye, goodbye to everyone

Under the hammer of a gun

Under the hammer of a gun

The days went passing by

Autumn leaves and fireflies

Empty minds and open hearts

Were you just too scared to dream

Holding on to everything

So tight it fell apart

Come on home to where you're from

Make your peace with everyone

A life you can't outrun

Swing back from your shooting star

Making your orbit singular

And count up all the scars

Under the hammer of a gun

Say goodbye, goodbye to everyone

Under the hammer of a gun

Under the hammer of a gun

Between the fear to take the leap

And everything you want to be

Life's a ride until we sleep

I keep waiting waiting

Between the hope and all the lies

You always use as your disguise

A cry for help with no reply

I keep waiting waiting

Oh, Mother take our hand into the sun

Father, shine down on us, yes everyone

Under the hammer of a gun

Under the hammer of a gun

Under the hammer of a gun

Under the hammer of a gun
