Damru Rhythms

{hand percussion and damru ticks} {cheerful whistle-like synth motif} (har har!) {claps

and festival crowd murmur}

Mountains high, the drum starts to beat Dust is rising under our

feet He is the dancer,

we are the song Gather around and carry along

{dhol layers enter, rolling snare build} Bholenath rules the night!

(shiva!) Walking in his golden light!

(shiva!) Sing it loud,

let it rise! Reach up to the open skies!

{energetic

synth lead, full

festival drop} Ash on the skin,

joy in the stride No more fear and nowhere to hide Laughter

is calling, spirits are free Join the parade of eternity!

{bouncing bassline and rolling snares}

{all instruments cut to hand percussion} Who is

the master? (shiva!) Who brings the laughter?

(shiva!) Every

heart

calling! (shiva!) {vocal call-and-response,

damru and claps}

Bholenath rules the night!

(shiva!) Walking in his golden light!

(shiva!) {choir pads swell,

extra

bright synth

layers, massive festival

finish} (har har mahadev!) {festive whistle synth fades out} {lingering hand percussion

and distant chants} (shiva...) {gentle wind

sound}
