Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Away, away foul dream
You're gonna listen now to me
No rules or in-betweens
You're gonna listen now to me
Waste all your time
Find another kind of boy, whoa
Our fates are on the line
A phantom I don't care to owe
[Verse 2]
Come on along on an eastern shore
Come on along, you're mine
Come on along on a winter's morn
Come on along, you're mine
You're mine
[Verse 3]
In sight, the drum and the fife with steam
Racing scene to scene
To break this beast in me
'Cause I will bang this drum to my dying day
[Verse 4]
In my affection June
You're gonna listen now to me
What's done, what's left as ruin
You're gonna listen now to me
[Verse 5]
Come on along on an eastern shore
Come on along, you're mine
Come on along on a winter's morn
Come on along, you're mine
You're mine
[Verse 6]
In sight, the drum and the fife with steam
Racing scene to scene
To break this beast in me
To remedy what's been blatant
'Cause I will bang this drum to my dying
I will bang this drum to to my dying
I will bang this drum to my dying day
'Cause I will bang this drum to my dying day
[Verse 7]
Don't you ever be afraid
Don't you ever be afraid
Don't you ever be afraid
No more, no more, no more
[Verse 8]
'Cause I will bang this drum to my dying day
(Don't you ever be afraid)
'Cause I will bang this drum to my dying
I will bang this drum to my dying
I will bang this drum to my dying day
'Cause I will bang this drum
