Praise Be

Press play before reading. 

Salute. 

,



(A lone voice sings.)


O Succumb

O Succumb


For he comes


To the sounds

Of Heavens drums


To lift

All feelings 

You hold dear


O Succumb

For he comes


O Succumb

To the sounds

Of Heavens drums


To lift your spirits

Some

And to numb


All fears

Or tears


Around here


O Succumb

O Succumb


For he comes


To the sounds

Of Heavens drums


So dance 

Till dawn 

        

Dance        

For you were

Born


For love

To live on


So sing

So sing

Along


So sing

Sing along


O Succumb

O Succumb


For he comes


O Succumb

For he comes


To the sounds

To the sounds


Of Heavens drums


To the sounds

Of Heavens drums


O Succumb

O Succumb


So sing

So sing

Along


So sing

Along


To the sounds

Of Heavens drums


Praise Be


Praise Be

Hallelujah 

For he comes 


So sing 

So sing along


Hallelujah

For he comes
