[Verse 1]
Born again harder than I was before
Bringing the hammer down is more than metaphor
I live by the steel, die by the blade
What reason is there to be if you're living life afraid

[Chorus]
The hammer is my symbol
The banner that I wave
The motto of my creed
Carved upon my grave
I live for the here and now
I live for the knife
My coat of arms is the hammer and life

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Fear and cowardice, harbingers of demise
Strength and the will to fight will lead you to the prize
Glory to all of those who conquer to the end
Honor the hammer, on it you can depend

[Chorus]
The hammer is my symbol
The banner that I wave
The motto of my creed
Carved upon my grave
I live for the here and now
I live for the knife
My coat of arms is the hammer and life
