[Intro]
Shields up
Cold breath
Boots drum
One step
[Verse 1]
Ash in our beards
Salt on our tongues
Iron in our mouths
Names on our lungs
Longships waiting
Tide holds its breath
Ravens in circles
Counting for death
[Pre-Chorus]
Torchlight trembling
Steel in our hands (hey!)
Heartbeat measuring
Distance to land
[Chorus]
Hammerfall at dawn (hey!)
Let the sky be torn
We rise
We roar as one
Hammerfall at dawn (hey!)
Till the weak are gone
Still we drive
We drive on
[Verse 2]
Oaths cut in knuckles
Runes in the grain
Old gods watching
Hungry for flame
Snow on our faces
Blood in the snow
If you would stop us
You better row
[Pre-Chorus]
Stormline shimmering
Black on the foam (woah)
Every breath whispering
“Bring them all home”
[Chorus]
Hammerfall at dawn (hey!)
Let the sky be torn
We rise
We roar as one
Hammerfall at dawn (hey!)
Till the weak are gone
Still we drive
We drive on
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to toms
Low chant]
Stone… bone…
Shield… stone…
Name… known…
Carved in stone…
[Gang Shout]
HAM-MER-FALL
HAM-MER-FALL
[Chorus]
Hammerfall at dawn (hey!)
Let the sky be torn
We rise
We roar as one
Hammerfall at dawn (hey!)
Till the weak are gone
Still we drive
We drive on
