Let The Hammer Fall Lyrics
Let the Hammer Fall (4:16)
Oscar Dronjak, Joacim Cans, Jesper Strömblad
It's getting closer now
The clock strikes midnight time
It is the tolling of the judgement bell
You fear the dead of night
There ain't no place to hide
This is your point of no return
Now we are ready to strike again
It's getting far too late, my friend
Let the hammer fall
We are above the law
Let our power show
That we're in full control of your destiny
Now we are ready to strike again
It's getting far too late, my friend
Let the hammer fall
Oh, oh oh....
We're getting closer now
The chill of distant eyes
You're on a dead end street into the night
Now we are ready to strike again
It's getting far too late, my friend
Let the hammer fall
Let the hammer
Fall (4X)
Let the hammer fall
Oscar Dronjak, Joacim Cans, Jesper Strömblad
The clock strikes midnight time
It is the tolling of the judgement bell
There ain't no place to hide
This is your point of no return
It's getting far too late, my friend
Let our power show
That we're in full control of your destiny
It's getting far too late, my friend
The chill of distant eyes
You're on a dead end street into the night
It's getting far too late, my friend

This song to me is about accepting responsibility for your actions. Read the lyrics, use the chorus to help you realize what I said. It should make sense to you
I can't believe Hammerfall isn't recognized much here at songmeanings.net. I guess they aren't all that well-known. I've heard alot by them, but this song will always be my favorite. The guitaring is so well-done, the vocalist's amazing sound- it's excellent.
Acetica, I completely agree with your interpration. It doesn't take much to understand what they're talking about. "Let the hammer fall" as in, let the gaval fall, judgement, punishment, etc etc, get it?
Well, maybe Hammerfall isn't so well-known, but I think that it isn't so hard to understand the meaning most of their songs. But for me Hammerfall is the best band! Hell yeah!
I had this intro as a startup tune on my Windows 98 PC :D
