Sharm ~ Raise Your Hammer (World Of Warcraft Parody)

[@sharmsong]

Lyrics by Bael: Blood for freedom! They're walking me into the citadel Don't try'n stop me, don't try'n stop me, don't try'n stop me I'm staring at man in his armour and in his seat Arthas I see, pure rage I feel Wake up! I'm defying you, seeing right through you once I obeyed you Wake up! Feel what's coming deep within you must know Blood for freedom! So raise your army, claim your throne Break the silence, no remorse Won't die again Blood for freedom! Raise your hammer, fire my bow Flipping backwards, I glare at you Won't die again Throw pillars of ice at the fallen, they're missing me They're missing me, they're missing me I'm feeling the chill from your hammer, why hide from me You hide from me, you hide from me. Wake up! I'm defying you, seeing right through you once I obeyed you Wake up! Feel what's coming deep within you must know The way that you torment me The way that you changed me The way that you made me serve Blood for freedom! So raise your hammer, arrows pull Bound by chains now, no escape Won't die again Blood for freedom! Raise your hammer, slammed by stone Chained usurper, the banshee comes Won't die again Sylvanas: "You are unfit to wear this crown." "To wield, so much power..." Lich King: "That...power, will be your prison." Sylvanas: "This world...is a prison." "And I will set us all...free." Blood for freedom! So raise the helm up, end the reign Break the cycle, Bolvar's scorn Won't rule again Blood for freedom! Break the helmet, Lich King's done Claim the power, break the veil Won't rule again Blood for freedom! When kings are failing They put all heaven in a rage We're on our own Our tears keep falling They're setting fire to the flame Blood for freedom

[@darkforge15]

I have 1 tiny problem: it's Bolvar and not Arthas.

[@andrewlakhach4806]

@@darkforge15 and this is in the lyrics "Bolvar's scorn wont rule again". She Just mean She think about Arthas when looking on LK, I mean when man in this helmet tear your soul apart it Hard not to.

Unbelievable, I've heard how your range and singing skills have improved over the years, this cover is like a culmination of everything amazing in your voice. Also I am so glad you left the voice lines!

[@sharmsong]

Wow, thank you! 💙

Wow, why isn't this the Shadowlands Cinematic intro... The original footage, with some inserts & your voice make it even more awesome & gave me genuine chills :) Tbh, Blizzard should hire you, if they start making movies, for the movie soundtracks, singing & even voice acting...

im so happy someone as popular is doing Within temptation songs, i love them so much and not many people talk about them anymore so yay

[@sharmsong]

They're great!

[@tonikusler8055]

This is SO powerful and amazing! As someone who has been playing since just before BC (and has a big stack of books for the lore), I have mixed emotions about Sylvanas. With this, you've done well in capturing the reason I feel FOR her. Plus, it's just plain well done. Thank you.

[@sharmsong]

Ahh thank you Toni! 💙

[@SirWolf2018]

I'm just gonna quote myself from Discord: "Holy cow, it's amazing! Hoooly cow!" As well as: "Best song/video this decade. Oh wait it just started. :D" Not only it's one of my favorite music genres, but also comes with your phenomenally beautiful singing! Oh yeah, and did I mention, holy cow? :D

[@sharmsong]

Lol thank you Wolfie! 💙

[@Zygs616]

I cant fucking believe sharm covered within temptation! Literally one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. Within temptation is so kick ass and sharms voice is fucking amazing! Props to all parties involved, much love ❤

[@nothingnothing9470]

Damn I'm so glad that you discovered within temptation))0

[@sharmsong]

They're amazing!

[@Marcellogo]

Sharm here is not just making a parody that is better and more significant than the original piece it is made without a refrain, so bravo again) it is also explaining , together with the previous Banshee (but in this case any confrontation with Zombie and O'Riordan is simply impossible to just conceive) Sylvanas better than any possible retcon could possibly do. She is till stuck here in the day she failed her own people and cannot proceed further. She tried to in any way , desperately trying a way out ( in cronological order trough: vengeance, suicide, searching immortality, becoming warlord, destroying horde enemies) each time falling down further and further until she felt, after the words of Delaryn and Varok forced here to recognize the utter futility of ANY of her efforts into the Abyss of desperation and Jailer's embrace.

[@sharmsong]

Thank you for this insight! 💙🙏

[@JKAZ_M]

Even though the song isn't out yet, i know it'll be a master piece as always. But what i really want to say is that I really appreciate that you're taking a moment of your time to stand against injustice and help educate people. Thank you, Sharm. For being a great singer, and an amazing person.

[@sharmsong]

Thank you Kronoz 😭

[@ashleeoliva6212]

I love the original from Within Temptation "Raise your Banner", and now you make a version of your own but Raise your Hammer, I think I fell in love now...Sharm, why you do dis! ;w; (Love the video!)

[@sharmsong]

Thanks Ashlee!

[@proteus03]

In 2009 I came to Northrend to fight the Lich King. We were struggling but finally in 2010 we, the brave alliance guild Lucas Orden, succeeded and saw the defeat and fall of the Lich King Arthas with own eyes - just to realize that there must always be a Lich King to control the Undead Scourge. And so we witnessed Bolvar Fordragon becoming the new Lich King to carry the burden. Soon after I left Azeroth. How astonished I was to randomly just see the end of Bolvar as the Lich King and Sylvana finally ending the Lich Kings era. And what an epic scene and song, especially the vocals by Sharm. So great, I was really amazed to witness this after all our struggles in Northrend 10 years ago.

[@sharmsong]

Brilliant! Thanks Proteus!

[@NinjaFlibble]

This is amazing, but I'm going to be a little nit picky and say Sylvanas knows that isn't Arthas on the throne

[@Cthultist21]

I was looking for this comment I felt the same way like... good song but... that's not Arthas. But I can see her takeing a look at the crown and getting Arthas flashbacks^^

[@Xanatos1989]

Arthas has dont kill Sylvanas. That was the lich King with arthas as minion. Sylvanas has killed his murderer in the Video. Bolvar was a minion too. ;)

[@kasgeroth]

The Helm of dominance is what she killed which in essence is the Lich King when she knows that is what killed her and tried to control her many times

[@Alayni01]

Nerzhul resides in the helmet and it was he who was responsible for the rise and fall of Arthas in the firtst place.

[@navyflyboy07]

The visage of the helm could remind her of Arthas and fill her with rage from her memories

@@sharmsong I meant the 21:9 aspect ratio of the video. But I was just confused because I had in mind that the original cinematic would be in 16:9. Turns out it is indeed in 21:9, so my question was unnecessary :D

I don’t understand the hate for this cinematic... yeah it was said years ago that the legion used the crown and the sword for their plans, but as far as I remember it was never stated that they created it... and @sharm: It’s a Great Song, but I like the bfa raid Songs more, I have to admit, but I guess that’s because many parts of the lyrics just describe the cinematic and I know you to be more creative with other stuff like Azshara and Sylvanas earlier this year and last year
