I still hear the screams in the square
Town ablaze in the evening
The air was so still down that old stormy hill
It’s good to be young and daring
Beat the drum
Beat the drum
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
Beat the drum
I still see the blood on our hands
Bringing death to the heathen
We counted our dead, when all others had fled
It’s good to be young and daring
Beat the drum
Beat the drum
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
Beat the drum
Across the bay I can still here the strains
The bugle loud and blaring
The banners raised, the Trinity praised
It’s good to be young and daring
Beat the drum
Beat the drum
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
Beat the drum
[BREAK]
We were the pride of the summer that year
Standing firm in our homeland
We fought and we prayed and we ne’er were afraid
It’s good to be young and daring
Beat the drum
Beat the drum
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
Beat the drum
Beat the drum
Beat the drum
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
Beat the drum
