Guiding souls through depths, like whispered truths
Drums rise like glimmers of generosity, unveiling sacred paths
Ancient tales emerge within their beats, woven tight
Passion’s fire reawakened as they thunder with might.
Their rhythm flows like rivers, wide and free
Cleansing minds entangled, restoring peace
Syncopated beats hold a purpose profound
Transforming an ascent of pain into a downfall.
Their bangs dance and weave, embraced by the spirits
Breaking barriers, revealing grace that abides
Drums pulse, the steady heartbeat of existence
Igniting souls with fiery, relentless insistence.
Their power burns, illuminating the darkest night
Where the radiance of healing soars on wings of renewal
Resounding echoes ripple, unlocking tranquil release
Drums play on, igniting the embers of kindred spirits.
