"The Rhythm Of The Heat" lyrics

"The Rhythm Of The Heat"

Looking out the window
I see the red dust clear
High up on the red rock
Stands the shadow with the spear

The land here is strong
Strong beneath my feet
It feeds on the blood
It feeds on the heat

The rhythm is below me
The rhythm of the heat
The rhythm is around me
The rhythm has control
The rhythm is inside me
The rhythm has my soul

The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat
The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat
The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat
The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat

Drawn across the plain land to the place that is higher
The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat
Drawn into the circle that dances 'round the fire
The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat
We spit into our hands and breathe across the palms
The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat
Raising them up high, held open to the sun
The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat
Drawn across the plain land to the place that is higher
The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat
Drawn into the circle that dances 'round the fire
The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat
We spit into our hands and breathe across the palms
The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat
Raising them up high, held open to the sun
The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat

The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat
The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat

Self-conscious, uncertain
I'm showered with the dust
The spirit enters into me
And I submit to trust

Smash the radio
No outside voices here
Smash the watch
Cannot tear the day to shreds
Smash the camera
Cannot steal away the spirits
The rhythm is around me
The rhythm has control
The rhythm is inside me
The rhythm has my soul
