The drums are rumbling in the distance

Like a celestial army marching to war

They are quiet and stealthy

Their only sound the drums

Until the soft rumble of drums

Becomes a loud stampede

As the army begins the fight.

Then comes the quick and rapid guns

Flashing their power

Sending bolts of light and electric across the sky

This celestial army is now at war

And no one is safe from their might.

The drops of tears pour down from above

As the guns go off and the drummer boys drum

Then comes the silence as the battle is won

And the army leaves with an eerie calm

But they still march to the beat of the fading drum.
