Ballad of the Brave

[Verse] In a tavern dim lit by torchlight Tales of knights and their valor played Armour clinks as the fireflies hummed Old bard sings till the darkness fades [Verse 2] In castle halls where whispers roam Lady fair waits for her love’s return Horses pound on the stony roads He'll come back with tales to discern [Chorus] Raise your cup and toast to the brave Fields of green with battles they pave Songs of old will never forget Lives they gave with no regret [Verse 3] On a hill where the banners high Wind does tell of a battle cry Stars they watch as the world turns gray Heroes fall but their deeds will stay [Verse 4] Maidens glance from the castle keep Prayers of love as their tears seep Moonlight guides in the darkest night Faith they keep for their love’s plight [Bridge] Time will pass but the songs remain Names unknown yet their honor gained Round we sing of the days of yore Echoed tales we forever store
