[Intro]
Raise the lantern, draw the ale
Lock the storm outside
There’s a door beyond the trail
Where forgotten roads collide

[Verse]
I lost my horse in the moonlit rain
I lost my name on the border plain
The pines bent low like they knew my sin
Then a golden window called me in

[Pre-Chorus]
And the sign was cracked
And the fire was bright
And the old floor sang
To the bones of night

[Chorus]
At The Tavern at World’s End
Where the lost and lonely bend
Every road and every tale
Finds a flame and finds an ale
At The Tavern at World’s End
Stranger, enemy, and friend
When the stars forget to burn
All the wandering hearts return

[Verse]
A paladin came with a broken crest
A bard laughed loud with a dagger jest
A dwarf drank deep with a haunted eye
A young mage whispered to the sky

[Pre-Chorus]
And the thief in grey
Never spoke his name
But he watched the walls
Like they breathed with flame

[Chorus]
At The Tavern at World’s End
Where the lost and lonely bend
Every road and every tale
Finds a flame and finds an ale
At The Tavern at World’s End
Stranger, enemy, and friend
When the stars forget to burn
All the wandering hearts return

[Instrumental]
Fiddle and mandolin dance
Boots on wood and cups in hand
Hurdy-gurdy turning slow
Like a spell from long ago

[Bridge]
No king can mark it
No map can know
It opens only
Where lost ones go

[Breakdown]
Under the laughter
Under the floor
Something is knocking
Behind the door

[Build-up]
So drink to the thunder
Drink to the rain
Drink to the roads
That brought us again

[Chorus]
At The Tavern at World’s End
Where the lost and lonely bend
Every road and every tale
Finds a flame and finds an ale
At The Tavern at World’s End
Stranger, enemy, and friend
When the stars forget to burn
All the wandering hearts return

[Chorus]
At The Tavern at World’s End
Raise your voice and raise your friend
Till the rafters shake and sing
For the dawn may never bring
At The Tavern at World’s End
Every broken road will mend
When the stars forget to burn
All the wandering hearts return

[Outro]
Raise the lantern, draw the ale
Lock the storm outside
There’s a door beyond the trail
Where all lost worlds collide
