Drum on the River

Lyrics

[Intro] [Sparse 808 sub, sliding pitch, distant shamanic vocal chants, four-on-the-floor kick beat entering slowly] (Aho... Aho...) (Rise up... feel the ground...) [Verse 1] Log drum knocking, floor is shaking deep Shaman chant call out while the city sleep Drill synth slide, trap snare on the snap Four-on-the-floor driving through the gap Shadows dancing on the concrete floor Ancestral spirit knocking at the door Log drum hit, double-time slide Deep bass hum where the soundwaves hide [Chorus] (Spirit move, spirit move) Feel the log drum pounding in the room (Spirit move, spirit move) Four-on-the-floor through the midnight gloom Drill line sliding, chant echo loud Shamanic heat rising through the crowd [Drop] [Instrumental Break: Heavy pitched kwaito log drums, sliding drill 808s, rapid hi-hats, shamanic vocal chops, pulsing kick drum] [Verse 2] Rhythm locked in, heart beat sync Borderline energy on the brink Log drum rumble, low frequency roll Four-to-the-floor take total control Drill hats stutter, trap snare accent Shamanic chant, pure intent From the township beat to the club-room floor Heavy weight low-end, give 'em more [Chorus] (Spirit move, spirit move) Feel the log drum pounding in the room (Spirit move, spirit move) Four-on-the-floor through the midnight gloom Drill line sliding, chant echo loud Shamanic heat rising through the crowd [Outro] [Gradual fade of drill synths, heavy four-on-the-floor kick and log drum rhythm trailing off into ambient chants] (Aho... Aho...) (Ground beneath us... ground beneath us...) [Final log drum knock]
