"Hammer On Hammer" AZ Lyrics LINK Was there a time when I was Jupiter Ringed like Saturn, with sacred belt? Anvil sweating under blows Hammer on hammer, cold steel to smelt
Coiled serpent, silently waiting Takes the bait I place beneath The darkened deeps so far from shore Line cut, dagger to sheath
Stage must be set for mortal battle Völva prophesy fufilled At Ragnarök, gory conclusion: Drowning world to raise, rebuild
Vlad, the bad, seethes and schemes An empire past he must renew Tough man in waiting, stares at me At White Nights, 1992
Sabres rattle, pipelines tremble Wasted opportunity To build a better motherland A nobler place in history
The darkened deeps so far from shore Line cut, dagger to sheath
Stage must be set for mortal battle Völva prophesy fufilled At Ragnarök, gory conclusion: Drowning world to raise, rebuild
Was there a time when I was Jupiter Ringed like Saturn, with sacred belt?

I like the three tracks I have heard from the album so far. Really looking forward to the album arriving.

Probably one of the weirdest (if not the weirdest) Tull songs ever....but then again, this is not necessarily a bad thing..

Pretty damn awesome. I think it’s the best of the three and some of Tull’s more interesting work. It showcases the whole band with Joe and Scott taking command. Fresh.

Strongest one so far! Chord sequences man!! Maybe there is something to Ian’s notion of limiting himself to just a couple of meters for the lyrics. I can imagine the voice providing a sort of throughline and the music swirling around it. I also feel like this is a really packed song. If you had told me it was five minutes, rather than three, I might have believed you after first listen. I still hope for longer songs in the future, but I appreciate the economical use of a scant three minutes!
Two weeks…

I am really looking forward to hearing the whole album as a single piece of music as it is surely meant.

She certainly is a very talented lady and fits in nicely with Ian's voice

I love the white 'MU' T shirt. I will have to order one. The 'Broadsword' and 'Too Old' shirts look class as well!

Something came to me this evening that Ian seems to be composing within a triangle, not a circle.......does that make any sense to anyone Of course I have the album pre ordered, but I have not liked much any of the tracks so far.........but I was the same with The last album, and the acoustic tracks I loved......... Sadly Ian plays no acoustic guitar on the new album

Ian talks about this new album was going to be an instrumental album, but ended up with lyrics..........but never admits to having vocal problems.......
