The fire is low, the door is wide Another night with nowhere to hide Coins on the table, dust on boots Every lie smells just like truth We’ve walked through rain and broken stone We’ve fought for things we couldn’t own Now all the road asks back from me Is one more song and one more drink So raise your ale and lose your name Tomorrow we’ll be cursed again Tonight we laugh, tonight we fall The world can wait beyond these walls A knight with dents, a mage half-drunk A thief who swears he’s almost honest A healer counting all her scars Like trophies earned from foolish stars So raise your ale and curse the road We’ve paid enough for what we’re owed If fate is cruel and gods don’t care They’re not the ones who drank us here If dawn comes fast and debts come due Let them wait outside the door For heroes live between the hours And legends sleep on tavern floors So raise your ale and sing it wrong We’ll fix the tune before too long No crown, no quest, no final call Just crooked songs and ale for all So raise your ale and let it pour If this is peace, we ask no more The fire stays The road can wait
