When The Hammer Comes Down Lyrics - Singles - Manic Eden

(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)
