There Is a Drum

(Mmm-hmm-hhmm-hmmm-hmm-hmm
Mmm-hmmm-hm)

There is a drum
Beats 'til the end of time, beats a peculiar rhyme
Keeping watch upon us
There is a drum
Pounding unceasingly, bound to eternity
Keeping watch upon us

Moving across every face of the Earth
In the blood and the dirt, remembering everything
Wordlessly casting its eye like the ghost
Of a ghost on the land
Remembering everything

There is a drum
Beats 'til the end of time, beats a peculiar rhyme
Keeping watch upon us
There is a drum
Pounding unceasingly, bound to eternity
Keeping watch upon us

Moving across every face of the Earth
In the blood and the dirt, remembering everything
Wordlessly casting its eye like the ghost
Of a ghost on the land
Remembering everything

When judgement comes
The balance weighed
All deeds are counted, all debts repaid
Then shall we all be found
And from the silence come just one sound

(Hmm–, hmm–, hmm–, hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm
Hmm–, hmm–, hmm–, hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm)

Moving across every face of the Earth
In the blood and the dirt, remembering everything
Wordlessly casting its eye like the ghost
Of a ghost on the land
Remembering everything

When judgement comes
The balance weighed
All deeds are counted, all debts repaid
Then shall we all be found
And from the silence come just one sound

Sense be made of every life
Of every wrong, of every right
Sense be made 'til kingdom come
Oh my Lord, there is a drum

There is a drum
Beats 'til the end of time, beats a peculiar rhyme
Keeping watch upon us
There is a drum
Pounding unceasingly, bound to eternity
Keeping watch upon us
