[Verse 1] I had nothing. No home. No name worth remembering. No hand reaching down To pull me from the street. Just hunger. Cold nights. And another morning I somehow survived. The streets made me harder. The world made me small. But somewhere in the darkness... Something heard me. Something offered me a choice. Not riches. Not a throne. A chance. So I took it. [Chorus] I AM THE HAMMER! I AM THE WALL! When monsters rise And the giants call, When the sky goes black And the cities fall, I STAND! I FIGHT! I ANSWER THE CALL! [Verse 2] I was nothing. Now I am here. And I will not Stand aside in fear. You want this city? You want these people? Then come through me. I know what it's like To have nobody. I know what it's like To be forgotten. So every child Running from your shadow... Every family With nowhere left to go... They've got me. And I don't break. [Chorus] I AM THE HAMMER! I AM THE WALL! When monsters rise And the giants call, When the sky goes black And the cities fall, I STAND! I FIGHT! I ANSWER THE CALL! [Bridge] You are bigger. You are older. You have claws That tear through steel. I've seen gods. I've seen death. And I've learned something: Being afraid Doesn't mean you kneel. The streets made me. The gods changed me. But I chose What I would become. So if I'm the last thing Standing between you And them... Then you're going To have one hell Of a fight. [Final Chorus] I AM THE HAMMER! I AM THE WALL! Let the monsters Come crawling! Let the heavens fall! I had nothing. I had no hope. Then someone gave me A reason to stand. Now every time The giants rise... THE HAMMER FALLS. And if I fall tomorrow... Someone else will stand. That's what they gave me. Not power. A chance. And I'll spend it... DEFENDING THEM ALL.
