The Hammer and the Nail Lyrics

Fight the horde
Scratch the nails
Beware the charging lion's tails

In all the blackest of the blues
I need a longer fuse
Whenever I fail

A cradle and a son
The cradle rocks
Don't be, don't ever let me feel those shocks

What's creeping in, is creeping out
It's what was talked about
Whenever in doubt

Then you thrust a hammer to the nail
Broken bones I witness again
You need to demand
No need for consent

Oh... make them understand.

Use the guns to fight the war
I could come, and
I could be so much more

'Cause I can see the black is turning blue
As blue I feel for you
Whenever I fail

Cradle and the shock,
The cradle and a son
Oh, see, can't you see them come

And I'll be firing up the fuse
With nothing left to lose
I turn into sand

Then you thrust a hammer to the nail
Broken bones I witness again
You need to demand
No need for consent

Oh... make them understand

Whenever I fail
Whenever I fail
Whenever I fail
