Drum Beats In The Distance

Drum Beats In The Distance

their echo in my mind verify their existence



Like a runner's pulse rate they quicken

suddenly my heart with fear is stricken



Because I see the hand writing on the wall

and in the past this as meant bodies will fall

These love notes from hell before

have been the precursor to war



Young people sent off to die

sometimes all due to a lie



Innocent Mothers and Babies are too often killed

their life's missions left unfulfilled



Love ones left to deal with the loss

all because Satan wants to be the Boss
