Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – riff roaring] Steel… Fire… Hear the hammer fall. [Verse 1] Born where the sparks hit the midnight sky Black smoke rising while the sirens cry Every hard road that I walked alone Left another crack in the stone Every mistake like a hammer slam Every scar like a maker’s brand You want the truth? Well here I stand This world forged a bad man [Pre-Chorus – drums building] Hammer fall, sparks fly in the furnace flame Every scar in my skin got a maker’s name [Chorus – big gang vocal] HAMMER DOWN! STRIKE THE STEEL! HAMMER DOWN! MAKE IT REAL! HAMMER DOWN! I AM WHAT I AM! Bad things happen everywhere I stand Hear the calling of the bad man [Verse 2] Cold wind blowing through a broken town Too many kings trying to hold you down Too many rules for a restless hand Too much fire for a quiet man Didn’t break when the pressure came Didn’t run from the heat or flame You don’t choose how you start the game But the forge will carve your name [Chorus] HAMMER DOWN! STRIKE THE STEEL! HAMMER DOWN! MAKE IT REAL! HAMMER DOWN! I AM WHAT I AM! Bad luck follows where I land Hear the calling of the bad man [Bridge – halftime, riff grinding] Hammer… Strike again… Steel bends slow But it never pretends If the fire don’t break you It makes you stand That’s the sound Of a bad man [Crowd Chant Breakdown] (band stops – drums pounding like a forge) HAMMER! (guitar hit) HAMMER! (hit) HAMMER! (hit) [Crowd screaming] HAMMER DOWN! HAMMER DOWN! HAMMER DOWN! [Riff explodes back in.] [Final Chorus – biggest energy] HAMMER DOWN! STRIKE THE STEEL! HAMMER DOWN! MAKE IT REAL! HAMMER DOWN! I AM WHAT I AM! If the fire calls my name again It’s the calling of the bad man
