lyrics

3.12 The Sound of Drums

I’ll break the world beneath my thumbs
You’ll hear the noise that I’m its Master
This pounding, pounding, sound of drums
And you think yourself their savior factor
But you just make me tear skies faster
I’ll break the world beneath my thumbs
Can’t you hear the boiling drums, listen Doctor
hear their song. Are they the choir, I the Pastor?
This pounding, pounding, sound of drums
And this girl you march on warring vector
She’ll walk the earth, but I’ll in time out last her
I’ll break the world beneath my thumbs
While you for thousand years were just reactor
I call on eons, command death, the castor
This pounding, pounding, sound of drums
This world will burn as Troy, with you its Hector
Called from the depths with “Hastur! Hastur!”
I’ll break the world beneath my thumbs
This pounding, pounding, sound of drums.
