Heavy Metals

Heavy Metals - Ian Anderson

I am the smith I feed my melt-pot

Fashion carbon steely blades

While coulter and the mouldboard stab

And break the clod in forest glades

In sultry peace and blood-raised anger

I hammer out my forging trade

Lockheed Fokker Curtis Hawker

Avro Gloster Handley Page

Colt Beretta Walther Mauser

Springfield Ruger in a rage

Holland Holland Boss and Purdey

Woodward Greener: golden age

Every atom ofthe arsenal forged

In distant dying sun

In unholy Trinity now lends new

Form to plough and gun

Harry S and Oppenheimer Fermi

Teller what have you done

And did they pray that He may guide

Us in His ways now battle's won
