Track Insight / Lyrics
I was forged in foundry fire
Stamped with numbers, built for wire
Now I rest in trench mud deep
While artillery wakes the sleep
Thunder rolls from ridge to ridge
Helmet bridges war's cold bridge
Mud holds tight my steel crown down
Silent witness, lost and found
Once I kept a young head dry
Watched the bombers streak the sky
Felt the sweat and felt the breath
Now I taste the iron death
Thunder rolls from ridge to ridge
Helmet bridges war's cold bridge
Mud holds tight my steel crown down
Silent witness, lost and found
Boots tramped past me, left and right
Disappeared into the night
No one stopped to lift my weight
Left me to the mud's cold plate
Thunder rolls from ridge to ridge
Helmet bridges war's cold bridge
Mud holds tight my steel crown down
Silent witness, lost and found
Lighthouse beam would cut this gray
Guide the lost and show the way
But no light sweeps this killing ground
Only thunder's pounding sound
Rust will bloom on chin strap leather
Time and mud work slow together
Still I watch the horizon flare
Waiting for a hand to care
Thunder rolls from ridge to ridge
Helmet bridges war's cold bridge
Mud holds tight my steel crown down
Silent witness, lost and found
Thunder rolls from ridge to ridge
Helmet bridges war's cold bridge
Mud keeps me, the thunder fades
Helmet rests where music played
