Cerebral Aneurysm; it kills the young and the old. You better be near "911" for you to have any hope of survival without sequelae. Sometimes there can be symptoms of headache, but very often, there is no pre-warning, thanks to our amazing bodies and our ability to cope with adversity. So, if you should feel as though there is a hammer on an anvil in your brain, maybe you ought to have it checked out!

Hammer on an Anvil

Cerebral aneurysm
Malformation in the brain,
You have a splitting headache
Doesn’t quit, it’s too much pain,
Close the windows, pull the curtains
Lay in darkness all day long,
Your sudden death would mean relief
Unclear what’s right or wrong.

A hammer on an anvil
Beating ceaselessly inside,
Excruciating torture
Doesn’t stop, good lord you’ve tried,
A thousand different measures
That never halt the pain,
Cerebral aneurysm
It’s a time bomb in your brain.
