This is the sound of drums in the storm.
This is the ocean and that is a net.
These are the waves that are rolling deep red.

This is a man who has come for their water.
This is the edge and that is the top.
This is the cream and that is the crop.
This is a soldier and this is a brother.
This is the letter that comes to their mother.
This is the [echo} and this is the answer.
This is a girl who once was a dancer.
This is because and this is become.
This is the Savior cleaning his gun;
this is an army that stands by your bed
and these are the bells that are tolling deep red.
