I see the red dust clear
High up on the red rock
Stands the shadow with the spear

The land here is strong
Strong beneath my feet
it feeds on the blood
it feeds on the heat

     The rhythm is below me
     The rhythm of the heat
     The rhythm is around me
     The rhythm has control
     The rhythm is inside me
     The rhythm has my soul

     The rhythm of the heat
     The rhythm of the heat
     The rhythm of the heat
     The rhythm of the heat

Drawn across the plainland
To the place that is higher
Drawn into the circle
That dances round the fire
We spit into out hands
And breathe across the palms
Raising them up high
Help open to the sun

Self-conscious, uncertain
I'm showered with the dust
The spirit enter into me
And I submit to trust

     Smash the radio
     No outside voices here
     Smash the watch
     Cannot tear the day to shreds
     Smash the camera
     Cannot steal away the spirits
     The rhythm is around me
     The rhythm has control
     The rhythm is inside me
     The rhythm has my soul
