The song Hallowed Be My Name by HammerFall is about a person who has been banished for their beliefs and has been walking in the shadows for years. They can feel the power and might of something alive in the darkness and are searching high and low through dark places they must go. The person feels like there is no place for them in heaven or hell and they are sentenced to walk here forever. They walk alone, with no legions following their path, and are a stranger to their own shadow. However, they can feel something is wrong, to the bone. The person raises their hammer and takes aim, because they believe that their name should be hallowed - that their name should be respected and revered. Even if someone were to lie, crush their heart, steal their soul, or tear them apart, they cannot claim the person's name. Overall, the song expresses a sense of isolation, rebellion, and determination to ensure that one's name is respected and remembered.
