Villanelle. Characterizes death as a drum beat.
I heed the call of master's drum

A call that can not be outrun

But at what point do I succumb



Nobody knows from where they come

We only know they've just begun

I heed the call of master's drum



Ka Thrum - Ka Kra - Ka Kra - Ka Thrum

They've heard the drum, go one by one

But at what point do I succumb



An inner beat we can't flee from

Don't wage a war that can't be won

I heed the call of master's drum



No notion of what we'll become

My people gone I come undone

But at what point do I succumb



The sound takes me and I go numb

No more to feel the loving sun

I heed the call of master's drum

But at what point do I succumb
