Hammer of the Gods
Faderhead Lyrics

The opening lines of "Hammer of the Gods" by Faderhead convey a sense of strength and autonomy. The singer declares that they only have their own word and integrity as a foundation in their life, and they refuse to compromise on those values. This follows with a warning to those who would dare to cross them or cause them harm ("Play with matches/You get burned"). The next part of the song, "Disarray", suggests that the singer has encountered chaos or conflict - perhaps as a result of someone violating their trust or boundaries. The refrain, "Now it's time to pay/ Doomsday/ I let the hammer of the gods/ Strike you down", evokes a sense of divine retribution or justice being rendered. The singer seems to be taking on the role of an avenging force, empowered by a higher power to punish those who have caused harm. The song concludes with the word "Misery", which could be interpreted in a few ways. Perhaps it refers to the pain the singer has suffered, or the discomfort they aim to inflict on their enemies. It could also suggest a kind of satisfaction, as though the singer is relishing in the suffering of those they have defeated.
