Beat the drums of tragedy for me.
Beat the drums of tragedy and death.
And let the choir sing a stormy song / To drown the rattle of my dying breath.
Beat the drums of tragedy for me, / And let the white violins whir thin and slow, / But blow one blaring trumpet note of sun / To go with me / to the darkness / where I go.
