Hammer of the Fallen

[Verse 1]
Bootprints in the ash
Scars like scripture on my skin
Every sin I ever carried
Still screaming from within
Iron in my breath
Chains clatter when I walk
I’ve bled for every promise
You buried in your talk
[Pre-Chorus]
You built your thrones on broken bones
You taught us fear
Then called it law
But I’ve been sharpening in shadows
I remember what I saw
[Chorus]
Bring down the hammer of the fallen (hey!)
Hear every broken voice ignite
I was the one you left in darkness
Now I’m the fire in your sky at night
Redemption rides on steel and thunder
Justice roars in every strike
Bring down the hammer of the fallen
I’m coming for your crown tonight
[Verse 2]
Your banners stain the walls
Gold dripping from your hands
But truth is crawling through the gutters
Rising up from poisoned lands
Names carved in my heart
Every ghost that you denied
I wear their fury like an armor
Marching at my side
[Pre-Chorus]
Your gates of stone
Your halls of glass
Shatter when the people scream
You can’t outrun the storm that’s coming
I am every shattered dream
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register
Gang shouts]
I was broken
You made me steel
I was silent
Now I reveal
Every wound
Becomes a sword
Every cry
Becomes this roar
[crescendo
Half-time]
Kneel in the blaze
Feel what you’ve done
This is the weight
Of everyone
[Chorus]

metal, Galloping power metal with twin-guitar harmonies, double-kick on overdrive, and male vocals that leap from snarled low verses into soaring, heroic choruses. Rhythm guitars stay tight and chugging under the vocals; pre-chorus opens with climbing chords, chorus explodes with stacked gang shouts and ride cymbal. Brief melodic lead break into a halftime, chant-style bridge before a final, faster double-time chorus reprise., power metal
