A story is told, that in Asgard of old
Came a hammer (hammer) of great might
By the furnace light in the depth of night
That was 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
Their sledgehammers following, like thunder rolled
Sindre, sang runes by the fire
