There Is a Drum - Nerina Pallot

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 judgment comes

The balance weighed

All deeds accounted, all debts repaid

Then shall we all be found

And from the silence come just one sound…

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 judgment comes

The balance weighed

All deeds accounted, 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
