Distant Drums

Sitting in the silence of distant drums in my mind
Distant drums of tears
Distant drums of smiles
Distant drums of sacrifices in vain
Distant drums of pain
Distant drums of suffering
Distant drums of overcoming

Sitting in the disrupting Banging of drums
Banging drums of never ending pain
Banging drums of sinners
Banging drums of emptiness
Banging drums reminding me
Banging drums as I scream

Sitting in wild winds the drums break the sound barrier
Wild winds of disappointments
Wild winds of failure
Wild winds of cold nights - cold days
Wild winds that rip apart

I must live again before I die
As the wind carries me away
To the life saving beat of the drum
I say good bye
