Samson Hammerhead Album: Head On - 1980 Dickinson/Samson/Aylmer/Thunderstick 'Bruce Bruce' Dickinson - Vocals Paul Samson - Guitar (RIP 2002) Chris Aylmer - Bass Guitar (RIP 2007) Barry 'Thunderstick' Purkis Graham - Drums A story is told, that in Asgard of old, Was a hammer of great might By the furnace light in the depth of night They cast an ingot bold Can you hear the hammerhead in the wind Can you hear the hammerhead in the wind They hammered and wrought and the rune spell caught And engraved upon its shaft, With a head of steel beneath which all men would kneel, And would lay down the sword, at last Can you hear the hammerhead in the wind Can you hear the hammerhead in the wind They laid on the anvil, a steel cold bar, Needed no fire nor file But their sledgehammers following, like thunder rolled And Sindre, sang runes by the fire Can you hear the hammerhead in the wind Can you hear the hammerhead in the wind
