By Way Of The Drum

He took the heat out of the flame, He took the heat right out of the flame
You took the heat out of the flame
You took the heat right out of the flame

Out of the fire burning they came walking side by side:
They were Shadrack, Meshack and Abendigo untouched by the burning fire
They said 'He took the heat right out of the flame!
He took the heat right out of the flame!
Nobody but the Lord, the Lord God Almighty took the heat out of the flame! '

Them drums won't burn
Them drums don't burn
Them drums don't burn
Them drums don't burn
No, they won't
No

Apartheid lead to genocide
There'll be no pause for a day
But the word, had to be heard
They could not, we wouldn't let 'em, could not claim the drums

Them drums don't burn
Them drums don't burn
Them drums don't burn
Them drums don't burn

Deep in the jungle where the coconut grows
Where the tiger and the lion boogie with the rhino
There's a tribe over here, there's a tribe over there
Drums beatin' funky rhythm they were talking everywhere

Too all you people out there
Men born of woman or whoever you are!
We sing this strong song right from the heart
Letting you know that the drums won't burn

He took the heat out of the flame
He took the heat out of the flame

Don't you hear what I'm sayin'?
Can't you understand what we're doin'?
