The Hammer Falls

Lyrics

[Intro] (Quiet, atmospheric orchestral strings swell in a dark, minor key) (Distant thunder, quiet tension builds) [Verse 1] Through the ash of the forgotten sky We watch the ancient empires die The silence breaks, the shadows crawl We stand against the final wall [Chorus] Rise through the fire, tear down the gate! Reap the harvest of our ancient hate! Fast, relentless, the iron will The hammer falls, the night is still! [Melodic Instrumental Break] (Hard melodic guitar solos, soaring harmonies, fast dual-lead sweep picking over thunderous double-bass drums) [Verse 2] The crimson tide begins to flood The soil is crying out for blood No mercy left, no tears to cry Underneath a bleeding sky [Chorus] Rise through the fire, tear down the gate! Reap the harvest of our ancient hate! Relentless force, the iron will The hammer falls, the night is still! [Outro] (Brutal downtuned guitar riffs, crushing blast beats, dark orchestral choir chanting, sudden heavy stop) Dead. Still. (Ring out)
