You know he heard the drums of war
When the past was a closing door

The drums beat into the jungle floor

Past was always a closing door
Closing door

Rain on the leaves and the soldiers sing
You never-never hear anything

They filled the sky with a tropical storm

You know he heard the drums of war
But each man knows what he's looking for
