Manic Eden - When The Hammer Comes Down lyrics

(A. Vandenberg)

Another day, another night, they just fade away

I can't seem to read the signs, might have lost my way

I might have lost my way

Looking through the clouds of grey, I can see their hands

Telling me that I can't stay, in their no man's land, in their no man's land

Time's tight with all my might, tryin' to beat my deadlines

All night wide awake, hanging on a lifeline

Hold on, hold on, should have seen it comin'

Shakedown in my mind, who decides what's wrong or right

Reject, face the facts, honesty is hard to find

Rollin', rollin', rollin' with the punches

Chorus:

When the night comes, yeah, I should be on the streets

But when the hammer comes down - everytime

I wanna hide deep in this soul of mine

When the hammer comes down - everytime, it blows my mind

It blows my mind

One foot on the train, one foot on the platform

Run the race, play the game, all is fair in love and war

Rollin', rollin', rollin' with the punches

(chorus)

(When the hammer comes down, when the hammer comes down)

(Solo)

Looking through the clouds of grey, I can see their hands

Telling me that I can't stay, in their no man's land, in their no man's land

Judas kiss, cold lips, look me right in the eye

Smile at you, daylight, stab you in the back at night

Take it, take it, take it if you want it

When the night comes, and it comes, I should be on the streets

But when the hammer comes down - everytime

I wanna hide deep in this soul of mine

When the hammer comes down - everytime, it blows my mind

I wanna hide deep in this soul of mine

But when the hammer comes down - everytime, it blows my mind

When the hammer comes down - everytime

I wanna hide deep in this soul of mine

But when the hammer comes down - everytime, it blows my mind

(Blows my mind) (repeats)
