On the castle I drum my drum

A swirling wind
In the skies
Hears my drum

I watch the world
To know my drum

And a new born king
His army at his side

I pray each day my life
To see the next

Now my drum sounds
No longer long

I hear my lord
Call
To make a song

To spare his life
And my drum beats

Heating the skin
To protect me
From within

I pray each night
My notes will beat
A drum
Of awakeness
Not retreat

To hear a new king

Ta rat tat dum

I drum my drum
To see a new born king

Ta rat tat dum

Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine
meltin' in a pot of thieves
wild card up my sleeve
thick heart of stone
my sins my own
they belong to me, me

people say "beware!"
but I don't care
the words are just
rules and regulations to me, me

Thanks - I was trying to capture images but beat seemed to be more important, almost than the words
