Spirit Drummer

[Verse] Drums of the earth Beat in old skin Gather ‘round the fire The night begins Under the ancient trees The stories told Bones of the ancestors Warmth in the cold [Chorus] Sing Spirit drummer Sing Echo through the valley Let the mountains ring Deep in the night Where shadows play Carry the voices Lost in the gray [Verse 2] Rhythms of old In the dirt and clay Footsteps of the giants Long swept away Echoes in the hollow Whispers in the wind From the birth of time A tale without end [Chorus] Sing Spirit drummer Sing Echo through the valley Let the mountains ring Deep in the night Where shadows play Carry the voices Lost in the gray [Bridge] Bones and breath Rattles and stone Calling on the past What’s been known Through the mist and the fading light We dance with the spirits Into the night [Verse 3] Moon on the water Secrets in the tide Songs of the river Where the shadows hide Joined by the throats A harmony old History engraved In songs retold
