Lyrics
Sound carries further than the eye can reach
A drum that bends its pitch like voice
The arm squeezes and the skin responds
Two players trading thoughts in tone
Talking drum the voice before the voice
Talking drum the voice before the voice
Before the voice
Before the voice
Across the plain the message rides
On frequencies that words can't hold
A question asked in leather skin
Comes back in wood and bronze and gold
Before the telephone before the letter before the smoke signal
There was a drum that spoke and a drum that understood
Talking drum the voice before the voice
Talking drum the voice before the voice
Before the voice
Before the voice
The message lands a village over
Hands translate the pitch to meaning
A woman smiles and starts to cook
The guest arrives before the evening
No signal tower no satellite
No fiber optic buried deep
Just tension on a piece of skin
And every word the drum can speak
