[Verse 1] Ash on my armor Names on the blade I walked through the winter And counted my dead The hall burned behind me The oath still held fast I buried my fear there In iron and ash [Pre-Chorus] Hear the old thunder Rising again Bones in the snow Remember my name I was the son Of a shattered sky Now I return With a storm in my eyes [Chorus] I am the God of War! I am the God of War! Break every chain Let the heavens roar I am the God of War! I am the God of War! My wrath is a gate And I kick it wide open [Verse 2] They crowned their lies On a throne made of bone Sent prayers to the high ones To keep them at home But I learned the hard road With blood in my throat Each wound was a hammer Each loss made me grow [Pre-Chorus] Hear the old thunder Rattling stone The blind gods tremble When I claim the cold I was the son Of a shattered sky Now I return With a storm in my eyes [Chorus] I am the God of War! I am the God of War! Break every chain Let the heavens roar I am the God of War! I am the God of War! My wrath is a gate And I kick it wide open [Bridge] No mercy left for the false and proud I wear my scars like a crown Let the saints turn their faces away I was forged in the grave and the blackened flames Now the old world cracks At the weight of my name [Final Chorus] I am the God of War! I am the God of War! Break every chain Let the heavens roar I am the God of War! I am the God of War! My wrath is a gate And I kick it wide open
