Lyrics
DRUMS OF THE DIVIDE
Verse 1
Borders burning, lines in sand,
Giants wrestle for command.
Echoes thunder, steel on stone,
No one stands, we stand alone.
Pre-Chorus
The river dries, the hunger grows,
The seeds of war in silence sow.
Chorus
Drums of the divide, pounding loud,
Shadows gather, nations crowd.
Who will bend and who will fall?
The drums of the divide will call.
Verse 2
Eyes of fire, hands on steel,
Every bargain a broken deal.
Across the oceans, across the plains,
The clash of power, the endless game.
Pre-Chorus
The earth is torn, the water claimed,
The wars for hunger wear no name.
Chorus
Drums of the divide, pounding loud,
Shadows gather, nations crowd.
Who will bend and who will fall?
The drums of the divide will call.
Bridge
Russia frozen, China wakes,
India, Pakistan — fault lines shake.
The fuse is short, the night is long,
The weakest break, the strong stay strong.
Final Chorus
Drums of the divide, no retreat,
Cities crumble under marching feet.
Who will answer, who will stall?
The drums of the divide — they call
