LAPOMPE - Midnight in the Pine Barrens Lyrics

I never knew the tide was the hand of the ocean
I never saw the wind, apart from the tree
I hear a distant drum, with its beat slow and steady
Deer-hide pulled across a screen

My feet are bare and my hands are dirty
My eyes are covered, but the moon is full
I feel the crunch of a branch that's breaking
Boom! The drum beats and I walk to

A sound that's older than the deepest ocean
A rhythm painted with eternity
The soil feels like a long lost haven
Boom! The drum beats and I feel free

I never knew the night was the home of the wise man
I've never seen the bank apart from the stream
I hear a distant drum, with its beat slow and steady
It pulls me like a sultry dream

A fire burns, smolders in the distance
The smell of pine, barrens and persistence
A sacred circle that tastes of forgiveness
Boom! The drum beats and I walk through

The pain and fear that I'm lost in a shadow
The nagging thoughts now they don't seem to matter
There's just the drum, soft but growing louder
Boom! My heart beats, one with the moon
