Drumbeats

a rythme by Brundle & Ravendancer

a drum beats
a simple rythym
laughing images on the walls
greeting
greeting
left with energy
drums about me
pulsing sound

and so my heart beats.
beating with the drums
a pounding rhythm
to fill the sky

and so my soul beats
beating with the drums
sounding the depths
that forever I scry

and their feet dance the ground
as I look on
my heart pounding
oh to dance with them!

and their voices are open
singing with the sound
of the drum beat
drum beat
vibrant in the ground

they dance themselves
singing their chant as I look on
a lonely traveller of another blood
never to dance with them
as my heart beats

sing, lonely traveller
sing a joyful shout
with the rythym of the drums
beating
you shall not leave out

my voice cries to be released
into the night so filled with drums
my feet cry to dance
as my heart beats the drums

the beat it dances
the beat it twirls
the beat is wild
in moody curls

my pulse is lost, my feet numb
with longing to dance
my voice cries darkness
with longing to sing
still they look on
never knowing

it fills the night
it fills the air
it fills the spirit
that hungers there

never knowing, never seeing
the hunger in my poor eyes
as my heart beats the drums
it fills the air and my blood pounds it
it fills my feet and the earth stills it
and I stand, lost in the war
between what they see
and what they are

and in the silence
drum beat
drum beat
and cold still air
ratatump ratatump
set the last few echoes
karump
ka-karump
of the drums of despair

my heart beats the drums as I stand
and I sway with the wind
and the drumbeats there
more subtle drums
and my feet begin to dance
and my heart beats.
