about

Hephaestus is the Blacksmith of the Gods in Greek mythology. He is also the patron of crafters, metalworkers, sculptors, and various other such artists.

Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, was his wife. She was also, well, Aphrodite.

This is a song about forging.

lyrics

Down in the forge
There’s steam and there’s heat
And sweat an’ blood an’ fire,
And workin’ to the beat
Of
Hammers poundin’ metal—
Need to make the scene complete…
Let’s get a whole lotta rumblin’
Goin’ on.

With lava for the furnace
And poundin’ for a song
You work your glowin’ metal,
But your workday’s oh so long.
No
Time can quell this yearnin’—
Even iron’s not as strong.
Hey, there’s a whole lotta rumblin’
Goin’ on.

You’re better with your hands
Than any other I could name.
Sparks are sure to fly when
Your hammer takes its aim.
Though
I’m born of the ocean,
Oh, I’m tantalized by flames.
See, there’s a whole lotta rumblin’
Goin’ on.

With every bead of sweat
That the forgin’ makes you shed
The air is growin’ hotter,
And hey, I’m seein’ red.
I
Think I’ve got a fever—
Won’t you take me off to bed?
Oh, there’s a whole lotta rumblin’
Goin’ on.

Said there’s a whole lotta rumblin’
Goin’ on.
