“There's a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an almighty sound

That throws me to the ground
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an almighty sound
Louder than sirens
Louder than bells
Sweeter than heaven
And hotter than hell”
