okays im on a 'bium bium bambalo' by SIGUR ROS kick right now..just listening to this song over and over and over again....so ummm thats why ive been writing bout listening and hearing and stuffish recently..and thats also where the drum part came in on this one...okays im a weirdO so dont ask  

listen to the drums
as they call you away
to come fight for honour
defend what is yours

hear the sound of drums
as they pound away
sending out their song
to all that will listen

sing the song of the drums
with the lyrics of death
and the quiet chorus of victory
shout it out loud for all to hear

whisper the story of the drums
pass the legends on
for when your gone there is no more
tell the generations to come

listen to the drums
pounding out their life
to the beat of your heart
as you slowly bleed to death

die with the sound of the drums
the last thing youll ever hear
the rhythm that called you to fight
the thrum that lead you to your death



“A single choice can build destinies,or destroy them.”

Shhhhhhhhh.....

Gosh, I REALLY like this piece! I love the symbolism that you put into this piece, it really pulled me in. Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

That song kicks some major ass!  
Bium Bium Bambalo, babAy!  
Oh and your poem is great too... the ending, how it suddenly turned from a virtuous tone into a dark one, I like that...
This song has also made me feel like writing, but more about the lighthouse than anything.  I want to do a lighthouse poem!
I'll probably end up doing it today, too!  
Awesome read, Tiffer!

I enjoyed this piece tiff.  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
