Tankards And Moonlight

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Come in, you weary souls Lay steel on the beam The hearth's red mouth is open And the ale is running green Mud on your boots, friend Blood on your sleeve But hear this old wood hum And you'll remember to breathe [Pre-Chorus] Raise up your cups To the road and the rain We lost a few names Still we sing them again [Chorus] Drink, drink, brother Sing with the hall We’ve all come broken And we’ve all had to crawl Drink, drink, sister Strike up the refrain If the dark takes your candle We'll light it again (light it again) [Verse 2] There's a scar on the table Where a dragon once bit There's a dent in the doorway From a giant's fist And the bard in the corner Has half lost his tune But the lyre keeps shining Like a slice of the moon [Pre-Chorus] Raise up your cups To the blade and the bone The road took our youth But it brought us home [Chorus] Drink, drink, brother Sing with the hall We’ve all come broken And we’ve all had to crawl Drink, drink, sister Strike up the refrain If the dark takes your candle We'll light it again (light it again) [Bridge] Oh, we are the ash And the ember still bright Oh, we are the fools Who survived through the night So howl, if you must Let the rafters ring A tavern full of wanderers Is a holy thing [Final Chorus] Drink, drink, brother Sing with the hall We’ve all come broken And we’ve all had to crawl Drink, drink, sister Strike up the refrain If the dark takes your candle We'll light it again (light it again)
