The Hammer Has Fallen Lyrics

Here I am standing, darkness all around.
Thinking of past, taken my last breath, the air is cold as ice
No one close to hear my voice
Did not leave me with a choice
Heaven will you wait for me?

Will I find a way, will I find a place
Will you let me go in peace
Will I find a way to the other side.

Sad are memories from the life I lived
Cannot go on, cannot go further
I has to end right here
For the things that I have done
All the girls I lost and won
Let me rest in peace at last

Will I find a way, will I find a place
Will you let me go in peace
Leave behind those dark days
No I ask again will you hear my cries
Then you realize why oh why
I must find a way to the other side.

Hear them whisper calling out my name
The sentences is set, the hammer has fallen
I have paid the price
Sad to realize to late death was meant to be my fate
All this pain will follow me.

I believe the meaning is that it is the thoughts of a dying soldier. Will I find a way, will I find a place Will you let me go in peace Will I find a way to the other side.

Sad are memories from the life I lived Cannot go on, cannot go further I has to end right here For the things that I have done All the girls I lost and won Let me rest in peace at last

I feel he is asking those who have shot him if he can find a place to die in peace rather then die in the chaos of the fight. He pays the price for his country or military.

Song Meaning

I know that the song is about UN soldiers cause he told me when i asked him

Thats cool! I usally just hear its about a man's last breathes, But your probaly right since Sabaton is into the military and war thing!

Hm, it strike me as kind of a "Hallowed be thy name" themed song, with a man awating the carrying out of his death sentence. Only a bit sader and less agressive.

i agree with you, its somebody who is going to die soon. the difference is, that in maidens song the guy is inniocent and he is loosing his mind beacouse he doesnt want to die

To me, this song is about after death. The chorus

Will I find a way, will I find a place Will you let me go in peace Will I find a way to the other side.

Always makes me choke up everytime I listen to it.

My Interpretation

Am i the only one who thinks this song is about a man who is about to commit suicide??

"No one close to hear my voice" "Sad are memories from the life I lived Cannot go on, cannot go further I has to end right here" "Let me rest in peace at last" "Will you let me go in peace"?" "Leave behind those dark days" "No I ask again will you hear my cries" "Then you realize why oh why I must find a way to the other side"

Clearly this person thinks nobody cares about him, he hates his life and he choses to die.

At least, that is how I interpret this song. Correct me if i'm wrong.
