Silent Music – The Sound of Drums

Back again with another dose of silent music. For those unfamiliar, please look here. Todays song is special to me, it being the first song I actually wrote in full in one sitting. The song was not really inspired by anything, I just had an idea for a title and the rest grew from that. So there is not much to talk about, just sit back and enjoy, or don’t, your choice.

Spoken
I’ll never pause again, never stand still,
Till either death hath closed these eyes of mine
Or fortune given me measure of revenge

 

Tonight we rise, rise from our silence
And into the world of deceit and fear
We’re taking back, back our lives
And the land we once revered
The time, the time is now or never
The revolution from the wild
The end, the end is coming
As the current is defiled 

Our brothers and sisters
Brought together by the beat
Tonight we stand together
Tonight we take back the street
Viva la resolution beckons
Viva la revolution comes
The fat ladies sings out tonight
Singing to the sound of drums

Bars trashed, glass smashed
The monsters roam at the end of light
Cars crashed, clubs thrashed
We’re going out with a bang tonight
power’s turning, police squirming
This city’s in for a major fright
Fire’s burning, world stops turning
We’re running the show tonight

Born in the fire, brought to the light

The uprising is born! Our time has come!
As we rise, rise too the sound of drums!

The broadcast has begun
Across the entire nation
So kneel down, say your prayers,
As we plunge into damnation
Your sword is double-edged
Your reign of terror’s at an end
So take a seat, the climax is coming
And watch in fear as our flag ascends

Bars trashed, glass smashed
The monsters roam at the end of light
Cars crashed, clubs thrashed
We’re going out with a bang tonight
power’s turning, police squirming
This city’s in for a major fright
Fire’s burning, world stops turning
We’re running the show tonight

Born in the fire, brought to the light

The uprising is born! Our time has come!
As we rise, rise too the sound of drums!

Born in the fire, brought to the light

The uprising is born! Our time has come!
As we rise, rise too the sound of drums!
