[Verse 1] Stand in line as we march to the drums of the east Paralyzed and possessed by crusaders deceased Lost to the sirens that call from the turbulent tides Bound by the science that lives on the lips of the wise [Chorus] The beating of a million drums The fire of a million guns The mother of a million sons Civilization The beating of a million drums The fire of a million guns The mother of a million sons Civilization [Verse 2] Lost in the silence, they bow to the call of the east Tantalized and seduced by the demons released Ears to the ground by the whim of the merciless sky Onto the fire that burns in the all seeing eye [Chorus] The beating of a million drums The fire of a million guns The mother of a million sons Civilization The beating of a million drums The fire of a million guns The mother of a million sons Civilization [Bridge: Instrumental] [Chorus] The beating of a million drums The fire of a million guns The mother of a million sons Civilization The beating of a million drums The fire of a million guns The mother of a million sons Civilization The beating of a million drums The fire of a million guns The mother of a million sons Civilization
