We Beat The Drums At Night

We Beat the Drums at Night

there is a thunder in the jungle, can you hear it?
A distant heartbeat rhythm, That’s flowing through the air
We’re gonna follow the beat, Of the nyabinghi drum
Tell me, can you feel it now? I and I soon come

There is a thunder in the jungle, Do you fear it?
It’s the heartbeat of a people,That keeps pounding away
A soul that never dies, That lives to fight another day
In the power of the drum, I and I will find a way
Chorus: we’re gonna beat the drums tonight
we beat the drums at night
Under the moon tonight, In a crazy trance
I and I just wanna dance
Chorus: we’re gonna beat the drums tonight
We beat the drums at night, The chalice is burning bright!
