Hammer on Hammer

Jethro Tull - Hammer on Hammer Lyrics

Was there a time when I was JupiterRinged like Saturn, with sacred belt?Anvil sweating under blowsHammer on hammer, cold steel to smeltCoiled serpent, silently waitingTakes the bait I place beneathThe darkened deeps so far from shoreLine cut, dagger to sheathStage must be set for mortal battleVölva prophesy fufilledAt Ragnarök, gory conclusion:Drowning world to raise, rebuildVlad, the bad, seethes and schemesAn empire past he must renewTough man in waiting, stares at meAt White Nights, 1992Sabres rattle, pipelines trembleWasted opportunityTo build a better motherlandA nobler place in historyThe darkened deeps so far from shoreLine cut, dagger to sheathStage must be set for mortal battleVölva prophesy fufilledAt Ragnarök, gory conclusion:Drowning world to raise, rebuildWas there a time when I was JupiterRinged like Saturn, with sacred belt?
