Djembe Fire
vom Album Dust & Gold
Lyrics
Hands on skin speak louder than words
The slap cuts sharper than a blade
Five players in a circle locked
The fire answers every phrase
Djembe fire the rhythm owns your bones
Djembe fire the rhythm owns your bones
Owns your bones
Owns your bones
The bass note hits your solar plexus
The tone rings out across the clearing
The slap connects with something primal
That civilization spent centuries concealing
Two drummers speak without a single word between them
Their hands are saying things that throats cannot
Djembe fire the rhythm owns your bones
Djembe fire the rhythm owns your bones
Owns your bones
Owns your bones
The fire throws my shadow tall
Against the trees behind the crowd
My feet move before my brain decides
The rhythm doesn't ask it tells
The boundary between my pulse and drum
Dissolves like smoke into the dark
I am the hand I am the skin
I am the fire and the spark
