death is like a beating drum heavy on my heart i will leave you lover soon lovely though the world i can hear my fleeting breath like thunder on the sea and i don t mind these jealous hands only knows defeat i have loved you endlessly all the more i breathe death is like a beating drum who s beating loudly still death is like a beating drum cadence true and thick as darkness swallows beast and burden turn your eyes free for i have loved you endlessly all the more i breathe death is like a beating drum who s beating loudly still death is like a beating drum heavy on my heart i will leave you lover soon lovely though the world
