The Anvil Pulse

Verse 1

Frost

Heavy iron

Soot on the leather

Cold wind bites the skin

Swinging

Muscle against metal

Spark jumps the anvil

Chorus

Heave for the fire

Heave for the stone

Heave for the marrow

Heave for the bone

The hammer keeps the time

The hammer keeps the time

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Strike

Strike

Verse 2

Ash

Blackened water

Hissing like a serpent

Red glow fades to gray

Bellows

Hungry for the mountain

Thump

Thump

Broken

Shattered

Mended by the swinging arm

Heavy hands

Hard work

Heart of the forge

Chorus

Heave for the fire

Heave for the stone

Heave for the marrow

Heave for the bone

The hammer keeps the time

The hammer keeps the time

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Strike

Strike

Bridge

Steel for the father

Steel for the son

Steel for the battle

Waiting to be won

One hit

Two hits

Three hits

Done

Chorus

Heave for the fire

Heave for the stone

Heave for the marrow

Heave for the bone

The hammer keeps the time

The hammer keeps the time

Outro

Cooling in the dirt

Quiet in the shed

Rest for the living

Iron for the dead

Rest

Rest

Rest
