Lyrics
Verse 1
Dust storm rising on the horizon line
Sands of a thousand years now soaked in red
Mother's call carries on the burning wind
I traded my plough for a blade of lead
Pre-Chorus
(Oh-oh-oh) Can't turn back now
(Oh-oh-oh) Blood on my brow
Chorus
War drums thunder in my chest
War drums never let me rest
Broken shields and shattered ground
War drums the only sound
Verse 2
Woke up to the muezzin's cry at dawn
Replaced by the whistle of the mortar rounds
Wrote a letter home with shaking hands
Every word a ghost that haunts the grounds
Pre-Chorus
(Oh-oh-oh) Can't turn back now
(Oh-oh-oh) Blood on my brow
Chorus
War drums thunder in my chest
War drums never let me rest
Broken shields and shattered ground
War drums the only sound
Bridge
I see their faces in the smoke
Fathers farmers sons and friends
The cycle turns the wheel keeps spinning
When does the war drum finally end
Breakdown
(Silence!)
(Silence!)
(Silence!)
Chorus
War drums thunder in my chest
War drums never let me rest
Broken shields and shattered ground
War drums the only sound
