Before the drums... Before the strings... Before the world invented instruments... There was a breath. And then... A voice. Mmm... doom... mmm... doom... Bmm-bmm... doom... bmm-bmm... doom... B-ts-kah! B-ts-kah! Doom-tss! Doom-doom-tss! Tka-tka-tss! Pah! I got a rhythm in my chest, a melody inside my bones, A thousand different frequencies but every one is home, I don't need a string to make the atmosphere ignite, I can build a whole cathedral out of voices in the night. One breath becomes a bassline, two become a drum, Three can make a harmony that shakes the kingdom come, Four can raise the ceiling, five can split the sky, Six can make the silence sound like thunder passing by. Dum-ba-dum! Dum-ba-dum! Tss-ka-tss! Tss-ka-tss! Ooh-ah-ooh! Ah-ah-ah! Can you hear the world awaken? Can you feel the air begin to move? Every note is ours for taking, Every heartbeat finds another groove. We are the rhythm, we are the sound! We make the thunder without shaking the ground! No strings, no keys, no machines tonight, Just a thousand voices turning darkness into light! Oh-oh-oh! Ah-ah-ah! Let the whole world sing along! Dum-dum-dum! Ba-da-bah! Every voice becomes the song! Doom... doom... doom-ba-doom! Bwoom... bwoom... bmm-bmm-bwoom! Pff-tss-kah! Pff-pff-tss! Tka-tka-pah! Doom-tss-pah! Aaaah-ya-ya-ya! Ooooh-eh-eh-oh! La-la-la-la-la! Ah-ah-ah-ah! No amplifier needed, no electricity required, Every note is breathing, every rhythm is inspired, Got a bass inside my throat and a snare behind my teeth, Got a melody above me and a heartbeat underneath. Build it from a whisper, make a mountain out of air, Stack another harmony and let it fill the atmosphere, Ten voices in a circle, twenty moving as a wave, Every mouth becomes an instrument, every breath becomes a stage. I can hear the kick go boom, hear the hi-hat going tss, Hear the harmony collide with every consonant I twist, Got the low notes rolling heavy, got the high notes flying free, And the only thing creating all this music here is we! Who makes the bass? WE DO! DOOM-DOOM! WE DO! TSS-KAH! Who makes the melody? WE DO! AH-AH! Who needs an orchestra when the orchestra is US? Strip away the rhythm, Take away the crowd, Leave a single heartbeat, Barely making sound. Mmmmmmmmm... Oooooooo... Ah... ah... ah... Oh... oh... oh... We were born with music, We were born to sing. We are the rhythm, we are the sound! We make the thunder without shaking the ground! No strings, no keys, no machines tonight, Just a thousand voices turning darkness into light! We are the heartbeat, we are the flame! A million different voices but the music is the same! No walls, no limits, let the echoes rise, Every note is human, every sound alive! Dum-ba-dum... dum-ba-dum... Tss-ka-tss... tss-ka-tss... Ooh-ah-ooh... ah-ah-ah... And it all began... With a breath.
