[Verse 1]
Ash in the beard
Salt on the tongue
Cold iron heartbeat
Drums like a hung sun
Ships on the black waves
Teeth of the shore
We bite the nail
We beg for war
[Chorus]
Hammerfall of the North (hey!)
Skies crack open when we roar (hey!)
Blood
Ale
Oath and storm
We ride
We ride
Through the hammerfall of the North (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Names carved in driftwood
Burned in the grain
Steel sings louder
Drowning the pain
Fire in the longhall
Smoke in our lungs
We swear on the splinters
We speak in tongues
[Chorus]
Hammerfall of the North (hey!)
Skies crack open when we roar (hey!)
Blood
Ale
Oath and storm
We ride
We ride
Through the hammerfall of the North (hey!)
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to half-time
Low chant builds]
One more storm
One more shore
One more shout
One more war
[Chorus]
Hammerfall of the North (hey!)
Skies crack open when we roar (hey!)
Blood
Ale
Oath and storm
We ride
We ride
Through the hammerfall of the North (hey!)
