| He took the heat out of the flame, He took the heat right out of the flame
|
| You took the heat out of the flame
|
| You took the heat right out of the flame
|
| Out of the fire burning they came walking side by side:
|
| They were Shadrack, Meshack and Abendigo untouched by the burning fire
|
| They said 'He took the heat right out of the flame!
|
| He took the heat right out of the flame!
|
| Nobody but the Lord, the Lord God Almighty took the heat out of the flame! |
| '
|
| Them drums won’t burn
|
| Them drums don’t burn
|
| Them drums don’t burn
|
| Them drums don’t burn
|
| No, they won’t
|
| No
|
| Apartheid lead to genocide
|
| There’ll be no pause for a day
|
| But the word, had to be heard
|
| They could not, we wouldn’t let 'em, could not claim the drums
|
| Them drums don’t burn
|
| Them drums don’t burn
|
| Them drums don’t burn
|
| Them drums don’t burn
|
| Deep in the jungle where the coconut grows
|
| Where the tiger and the lion boogie with the rhino
|
| There’s a tribe over here, there’s a tribe over there
|
| Drums beatin' funky rhythm they were talking everywhere
|
| Too all you people out there
|
| Men born of woman or whoever you are!
|
| We sing this strong song right from the heart
|
| Letting you know that the drums won’t burn
|
| He took the heat out of the flame
|
| He took the heat out of the flame
|
| Don’t you hear what I’m sayin'?
|
| Can’t you understand what we’re doin'? |
