Our reign is here, why hail the king?
The king's own drum, we've made it sing.
Our reign is here, why hail the king?
The king's own drum, we've made it sing.
The king now finds his royal sway,
The king's own drum, we cast away.
Our reign is here, why hail the king?
The king's own drum, we've made it sing.

We dance and leap, the fetters break,
The chains all fall, for freedom's sake.
We dance and leap, the fetters break,
The chains all fall, for freedom's sake.

When the people's rod descends in might,
The king's hot rage turns cold as night.
The palace falls, the gate remains,
The king's own drum, it now sustains.
The king now finds his royal sway,
The king's own drum, we cast away.
Our reign is here, why hail the king?
The king's own drum, we've made it sing.

We bowed to you for ages long,
We gave you homage, in a throng.
Those days are gone, now you must flee,
The king's own drum, for all to see.
The king now finds his royal sway,
The king's own drum, we cast away.
Our reign is here, why hail the king?
The king's own drum, we've made it sing.

We'll send you blessings, every one,
For bringing breezes, cool as sun.
Become a cloud, upon the land,
The king's own drum, we understand.
First our land, then all the rest,
No slavery, all are blessed!
Hear ye now, this news we bring,
The king's own drum, we make it sing!
The king now finds his royal sway,
The king's own drum, we cast away.
Our reign is here, why hail the king?
The king's own drum, we've made it sing.
