The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions and Queen "Hammer to Fall"


Here we stand or here we fall

The last stand at Zion.

History won't care at all

Doesn't fit.

Make the bed, light the light

Trinity and Neo's sex scene.

Lady mercy won't be home tonight

The machines are planning on killing every man, woman, and child...pretty much.

Yeah, 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
Hey, we're just waiting
For the hammer to fall - yeah


That verse seems to correlate to Zion waiting for the ship, The Hammer, to come. The Hammer can't recieve transmissions, and, when it does arrive, it essentially falls.

Oh every night, and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
But lift your face, the western way, baby
Build your muscles as your body decays


This seems to deal with The Matrix upgrading the agents because of so many people being freed from it.

Yeah, toe your line and play their game
Yeah, let the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
You know it's time for the hammer to fall - yeah


This verse appears to cover people being freed from the Matrix.

Rich or poor or famous for
Your truth it's all the same - oh no - oh no


These lines seem to deal with everyone has to fight to save Zion

Oh lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your window pane - oh no - yeah
Baby now your struggle's all vain


These don't seem to fit the Matrix at all.

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh

For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder and louder


The human race now knows nothing but war. Morpheus calls for the people to make their voices heard.

What the hell we fighting for ?
Ah, just surrender and it won't hurt at all
You just got time to say your prayers
Eh, while you're waiting for the hammer to hammer to fall
Hey, yes, it's starting to fall eh, hammer, you know
Yeah, hammer to fall, wooh, ah, hey, eh woowoo, ha eh hammer
Waiting for the hammer to fall baby
Yeah yeah while you're waiting for the hammer to fall
Give it to me one more time


I can't connect it.

Errata: In the video for "Hammer to Fall," you can see 2 very large gears at the back of the stage. Two very large gears open/close the gates to Zion. It's probably not significant, but eh.
