Exodus - Hammer And Life Lyrics






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 life for the here and now
I live for the knife
My coat of arms
Is the hammer and life

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]

    This riff is the meaning of life

    T.... D....

    Trandafir Dorin agreed🤘🏻💀🤘🏻🎸🎸

  7. L.... Y....

    fuck me just bring back the 80s i know this is a 2010 release but it wouldn't have existed without the most golden era in metal.

    L.... Y....

    This is probably Exodus' 2nd best album dude

  8. R.... M....

    new favourite song and band

  9. E.... R....

    This skeleton looks threatening

  10. s.... l....

    yo tengo la camiseta  

  11. J.... J....

    gosh I need this album

  12. M.... B....

    I miss Zetro, I'm still not a fan of Dukes, especially after he talked shit about Paul Baloff . Gary Holt still writes great riffs !!!

    M.... B....

    Zetro is back in Blood In, Blood Out. And about Dukes talking shit about Paul Baloff, he can sing about it for all I care, he is NOT Paul Baloff.

  13. B.... M....

    fuk ya the leads scream "EXODUS"!

  14. R.... S....

    Is it meant to be mono or is my iPhone connection shit right now? Either way. Annoying.

  15. F.... �....

    This is the first and the best song i heard from Exodus!

  16. D.... I....

    Is it weird that I found that riff really sexy??

  17. v.... .....

    i fuck love this band

  18. P.... P....

    Hammer and Wife

  19. P.... L....

    This is the first song that i hear from this band and i love Thrash Metal.

  20. O.... ....

    they cud be good combinations too

  21. A.... T....

    They said it's going to be like a sequel to the Black Album, just heavier. Kind of like how Death Magnetic was to ...And Justice for All.

  22. A.... T....

    Kreator? Dark Angel? Evile (don't care if they are new)?

  23. I.... ....

    HAHAHAH gnarly, Channel dood <3

  24. O.... J....

    I raped Jimmy Page

  25. O.... J....

    remind me of megadeth but much better fuck you

  26. m.... ....

    i saw a t shirt of it i was about to buy it then i thought it would eliminate so many of my dress codes at school \m/

    m.... ....

    Fuck the dress codes and fuck your school. Exodus for fucking life

  27. D.... ....

    settle down now. I personally don't care but hell why not build a kick ass lineup. Exumer, vio-lence, dark angel, and Venom, as the D would say "It will make your ear pussies bleed". As far as record sells you are right the big four are far above the curve and that's why they are the big four.

  28. D.... ....

    wheres the vio-lence lol

  29. v.... ....

    Best song I've heard in 10 years

  30. D.... ....

    You don't see some kind of connection between number of records sold and people thinking they're good? I know why the fuck they're called the big four. What I'm saying is that Metallica should never have got as big as they were because they didn't really deserve it. It puzzles me how many people liked them.

    Did I make a "Personal Big Four List"? Nope. I was commenting on someone else'. "Personal Big Four List" = The bands that should have sold the most because of superior musical ability.

  31. v.... ....

    fukin a man

  32. D.... ....

    @ladiesman19100 I don't think Metallica should have ever been in any big four combination.

  33. T.... ....

    @SUPERCHARGER2001 What does Metallica have to do with this song?

  34. O.... ....

    @SUPERCHARGER2001 A thrash band from the philipines

  35. v.... ....

    My band plays this. Its sooooo fukin fun to play! Exodus delivers another stunner!

  36. O.... ....

    why are these guys not part of the big four? then again i have some big four combinations top 3:
    3 Overkill Testament Exodus Anthrax
    2 Megadeth Metallica Exodus Slayer
    1. Death Angel Metallica Megadeth Exodus

  37. O.... ....

    @Flauschi13 nu metal fans who hate thrash should be punched in the face kicked in the nads and then burnt with a cigar so they can get it

  38. S.... P....

    @metalhead7127 More like deadLY.

  39. S.... ....

    Amazing!

  40. g.... ....

    @FirePower3006 I think the same as you. But, man, MA's new album is disastrous! :(

  41. m.... ....

    They say therash is dead, i say bullshit

  42. M.... ....

    I love how on the cover the skeleton is holding guns, grenades, a machete and then a Bible. It shows man-made instruments of death. lol

  43. T.... D....

    A Fitting tribute Song to the New THOR Movie...May 2011

  44. p.... ....

    Awesome cover

  45. J.... v....

    @penguinofhell he doesnt

  46. J.... v....

    love the quality of this album

  47. M.... C....

    love that bass sound in the begining

  48. d.... ....

    i will say i liked exibit a better but this album is killer too, exodus keeps makin great music

  49. l.... m....

    @DruumStixx
    LMFAO

  50. p.... ....

    EXODUS mudou minha vida totalmente com o clássico "Bonded By Blood" e me enlouqueceu com "Fabulous Disaster". Deuses do Thrash Metal!! AMAZING!! EXODUS FOREVER!!

  51. I.... ....

    good stuff, exodus is beeeast for their age
    and legend guitar playerrr much ?

  52. j.... b....

    Just happened to hear this one wasn't even gonna listen after the last one. WOW!

  53. T.... ....

    Finally, Exodus is back with the music I know and love by them. I will forget everything from Shovel Headed Kill Machine and forward up to this album just because this album is so bad ass.

  54. l.... ....

    The best bit was from 0:00 to 3:34

  55. B.... M....

    Exodus still rules!

  56. A.... ....

    @ellinasethnikos the 5 people that disliked this song will feel the strike of the beast from the exodus attack

  57. R.... T....

    ok ok world painted blood sucks. slayer went into studio with unfinished songs and they went from there in the studio. thats why everything sounds so basic and there is extremely easy drums and guitar solos.

  58. M.... ....

    @Dank0786 dont forget testament

  59. i.... b....

    @quickyway1 dude world painted blood is amazing album. you cant deny it

  60. S.... A....

    Awesome song \m/

  61. R.... T....

    This song rules...but all i can think about is how better it would sound if Zetro was singing it.

  62. m.... ....

    Paul Baloff is headbanging in his grave right now.

  63. s.... ....

    these fuckin guys are the best....hail exodus!!

  64. J.... E....

    love that solo. its just so exodus. a welcome return

  65. S.... Y....

    @metalbound7 Indeed! RIP Mike \m/

  66. m.... ....

    Its great They dedicate this album to Mike Alexander

  67. M.... ....

    @slaughteredremains1 anyone who has heard 80's Metal grew up on it Knows theres alot of different singers sounding different. a Girls like who? Queensrych? Judas priest? More of a distinguished sounds make it better.
    NOT singer sounding ALL the same. i like bands where you can tell who it is
    By the singer once you Hear Ozzy or Vince niel you know what band it is

  68. M.... ....

    @slaughteredremains1 Lame 80's vocals!!??
    Ever LISTEN to Exodus songs from the 80's?!
    besides 80's singers were Original NOT like todays Horseshit
    where singers are imitating the cookie Monster on every Fukin song

  69. M.... ....

    @Jakster840 his best stuff was on Fabulose Disaster.
    im just glad hes with them since last 4 CDs.
    there for awhile i thought Exodus were done & never would record again.

  70. M.... A....

    @flv2358 Nor Tom Hunting with his atomic time keeping.

  71. C.... B....

    i personally think this song is the best off exhibit B

  72. A.... V....

    @Thomasreichenberger Kreator is still alive.

  73. m.... ....

    Holy shit. This new album is gonna be fucking amazing,

  74. V.... G....

    Pity the rest of the album except Devil's Teeth and Class Dismissed isn't really tolerable for an old schooler like me.

  75. l.... ....

    @Thomasreichenberger
    Yeah dude I agree not too many left, don't know if your into Overkill but their new one is pretty badass also.

  76. y.... ....

    @GreeDy122 I did already say that

  77. h.... ....

    So they've finally gone old skool???? THANK FUK!!!!!

  78. r.... m....

    @quickyway1 u sound like afuckin idiot!!! ive been here in los angeles all my life and u make no fuckin sense u loser!!!! u talk like u know what the fuck is goin on but u dont u fuckin loser!! anthrax is not anthrax without joey not bush u piece of shit!!! endgame is way better than the last crap dave put out!!! STD, ATL, and POT r the best shit ever!!!! FUCK YOU U FUCKIN BANDWAGON FOLLOWER!!!

  79. G.... ....

    OH holy fucking shit, This is kickkk ass. Shitt. Dukes sounds alot better. I found his vocals quite annoying in the last 2 albums, but this. is woah.

  80. R.... ....

    @ToaJoe ...Think you maybe forgot Fistful of Metal, and Spreading The Disease.

  81. y.... ....

    this sounds so kickass thrash!
    sounds more like the sound they had on fab disaster.
    Im a hardcore exodus fan but their last 2 albums were bollocks and they didnt do rob's vocals any justice. Rob sounds alot better here.
    cant wait to buy this album!!

  82. l.... ....

    Sick tune, love it

  83. T.... ....

    just one day :D :D :D

    tomorrow is the best day in the year

  84. B.... D....

    @vicgarcia30 had the exact same thought haha

  85. T.... ....

    Im uploading all the songs offf the album very soon. The album is beyond legit.

  86. N.... ....

    @SpartanDFM18 you're so right man... This is a pure thrash solo.
    my personal favourite part of it is when the licks start at 2:11

  87. N.... ....

    Faceblowing solo.

  88. y.... ....

    @razorslice17 Ironbound is the shit, but it ain't Exhibit B

  89. A.... ....

    On this one,Rob reminds me of Hetfield....really dunno why.

  90. y.... ....

    Fuck yes! Exodus's relevance in 2010 far exceeds other classic thrash bands.

  91. d.... ....

    @quickyway1 Exodus was always criminally underrated and overlooked.

  92. d.... ....

    @NixxerJixxerWixxer I think he's really kicked it up a notch here though eh?

  93. P.... S....

    @PinkPantherPunk It leaked January 1st, and it was released in Europe at the end of January, and mid February in the US.

  94. T.... ....

    fuckin eXodus \m/ number 5 of the big four!!!

    insane song btw

  95. S.... M....

    @WuduFever: Agreed totally! Rob Dukes sounds awesome on this song, much better than his usual vocals. And this song kicks ass! It has a vibe of Force Of Habit, which I love. Rob has a hint of Baloff in his vocals here, which is very kewl. :) This, and the other new song Ive heard ''Class Dismissed'' are both awesome. I thought most of Exhibit A was dull, but Exhibit B is sounding like it might be a lot better. Exodus! \m/

  96. S.... J....

    sick song can't w8 for the album

  97. f.... ....

    kickas thrash, as always from Exodus! Gary Holt never fails to deliver those crunchy riffs.

  98. M.... J....

    See You In The Pit!!!!

  99. R.... G....

    @SinisterManiac thanks for the insult jackass sorry for not hearing about it

  100. S.... ....

    @PinkPantherPunk

    You're an idiot! They already put out a new album!
