HAMMERFALL haben sich niemand anders als KING DIAMOND zur Unterstützung bei ihrem neuen Song ‘Venerate Me’ gesichert. Wobei der King meistens dezent im Hintergrund bleibt. Den Track findet ihr auf dem für Ende Februar angesetzten “Hammer of Dawn“ Album und ganz neu als Lyricvideo.

Oscar Dronjak erzählt über “Venerate Me”:

“The second single is here, and I’m very, very proud of it! The music was written during the darkest, most uninspiring days of the pandemic and still came out as one of the strongest on the whole album. Joacim’s fantastic lyric idea makes this track really stand out, and the special guest appearance towards the end really pushes it over the edge!”

 

Sänger Joacim Cans fügt hinzu:

“The song is over loaded with enchanting melodies and a very catchy chorus. Lyrically one of my greatest efforts dealing with the fact that we die twice! First when we take our last breath and second when someone says your name for the last time. Say my name and I will never die!”

Lyrics:

 

Since the beginning I stood my ground

I stuck to my promises, what goes around comes around

Untamed by nature, rebellious by heart

My life’s my manifest, I am a state of the art

 

Make me immortal, venerate me and rejoice

Let my second death be halted, be my endless voice

 

Say my name, and I will never die

Light my flame, on the forever sky

 

I talked the big talk, I backed it up

Delivered the goods when the saboteurs told me to stop

I walked through fire when I walked the walk

Make sure that my second death never breaks out of its lock

 

I lived a noble life and practiced what I preached

To the sound of my own drum, I was always out of reach

 

Say my name, and I will never die

Light my flame, on the forever sky

Say my name, be my last battle cry

Light my flame, on the forever sky

 

Say my name, and I will never die

Light my flame, on the forever sky

Say my name, be my last battle cry

Light my flame, on the forever sky
