[Intro]
Rain on the roof and a fire in the hall
Footsteps arriving from nowhere at all
Raise up a cup, let the cold road fall away
The night has a door and it opens today

[Verse]
I came with a shield that was cracked down the side
A name I had buried, a prayer I denied
The bard at the table just laughed at my pain
And sang me a song by the candles in the rain

[Pre-Chorus]
The dwarf struck the oak with a scar-covered hand
The thief watched the windows, the mage watched the flame
No one had planned it, yet all of us came

[Chorus]
So drink, my friends, to the road and the storm
To the lost and the broken, the brave and the worn
Where the fire burns golden and the old songs remain
We found our beginning by candles in the rain

[Verse]
The innkeeper smiled with an age in his eyes
He poured us a truth wrapped in riddles and lies
He said every wanderer carries a key
But few know the lock until fate lets them see

[Pre-Chorus]
The floorboards were humming below every chair
A whisper like thunder was hidden down there
We laughed like the doomed who have not seen the blade

[Chorus]
So drink, my friends, to the road and the storm
To the lost and the broken, the brave and the worn
Where the fire burns golden and the old songs remain
We found our beginning by candles in the rain

[Bridge]
If morning should find us with swords in our hands
Remember this hour before shadow commands
The first step to legend is never the crown
It starts when the lonely sit fearlessly down

[Outro]
Rain on the roof and a fire in the hall
One little tavern at the edge of it all
