Sacred Drum

Intro

Oh

Oh-way-oh

Oh

Verse 1

Crimson sky is turning gray

Across the red sand dunes

My old people start to pray

Beneath the midday moons

Feet are moving on the ground

Dry creek beds hum a sacred sound

I follow where the elders stayed

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it in your bones

Can you hear the river stones

Waking up the sleeping ghosts

Chorus

My heart is beating

Fast like the thunder

My heart is beating

Pulling me under

The desert is speaking

The desert is screaming

My heart is beating

Beating like a drum

Verse 2

Dusty wind begins to rise

Lifting up the orange earth

Truth is reflected in your eyes

Claiming what this land is worth

History carved into the bark

Ancient light against the dark

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it in your bones

Can you hear the river stones

Waking up the sleeping ghosts

Chorus

My heart is beating

Fast like the thunder

My heart is beating

Pulling me under

The desert is speaking

The desert is screaming

My heart is beating

Beating like a drum

Bridge

Blood and soil and memory

They all flow through me

Blood and soil and memory

Finally I see

Everything that used to be

Chorus

My heart is beating

Fast like the thunder

My heart is beating

Pulling me under

The desert is speaking

The desert is screaming

My heart is beating

Beating like a drum

Post-Chorus

Beating for the ones before

Beating like it wants some more

Way-oh-way

Way-oh-way-oh

My heart is beating
