Here we stand or here we fall
History won't care at all
Make the bed, light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home
tonight
You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
It comes to you as to us all
We're just waiting
For the hammer to fall
Oh every night, and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face,
the Western Way
Build your muscles as your body decays
Tow the line and play their game
Let the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
You know it's time for the hammer to fall
Rich or poor or famous for
Your truth it's all the same
