Viking Drummer 2 — No One Stays Forever（バージョン2）

Verse 1

Smoke off the drumstack into the wind

Last beat fading like it's my last friend

Leather straps worn from holding tight

My hands still ringed where the iron bite

Neon signs flicker through the smoke

Your voice echoes, calling back and gone

I keep the rhythm till the fire breaks

But you're already running out into the dark

Pre-Chorus

Hold on to what we had

Before it's lost like sand

Keep this heartbeat

Don't let it die

Chorus

No one stays forever, no one stays behind

Every drum hits me back to the night that I left behind

I'll chase the rhythm until it takes my name

No one stays forever, no one stays the same

Verse 2

Tattoos on your arms where we carved a name

Your hand in mine but you're walking away

Dust is settling on what used to be

The last echo of a melody

I keep the sticks because they remember

Every heartbeat that I've been trying to surrender

You look back at me and then turn around

And the drum's the only one left in this town

Pre-Chorus

Hold on to what we had

Before it's lost like sand

Keep this heartbeat

Don't let it die

Chorus

No one stays forever, no one stays behind

Every drum hits me back to the night that I left behind

I'll chase the rhythm until it takes my name

No one stays forever, no one stays the same

Bridge

Maybe you're just ahead of the beat

Maybe this is how we both keep

Learning when the silence breaks

Before we lose our own heartbeats

Chorus

No one stays forever, no one stays behind

Every drum hits me back to the night that I left behind

I'll chase the rhythm until it takes my name

No one stays forever, no one stays the same
