"Hammer & Tongs" lyrics - FIREBIRD

Just a face
In the crowd
Will the old gods
Stand their ground?

In the war
Fought at knife
Will we all see
The morning light?

Often wonder what a change does
What is just that same old song?
Only time would rearrange
We were going at this hammer and tongs

Is is fair
To lay blame,
When we've all seen
Ourselves in shame?

Few may care
In the dawn
If the band plays
On and on

No one knew that
Time was[?]
Singing that just that same old song

Only hoped we would precede him [?]
To lay down the hammer and tongs

No one knew that time was[?]
Singing just that same old song

Only hoped we would precede him [?]
To lay down the hammer and tongs
