[Intro]
One last cup before the blade
One last joke before we’re afraid

[Verse]
We sat in a dream of the tavern once more
With rain on the roof and our boots by the door
The fire burned low, but it warmed every face
As if death had forgotten the name of the place

[Pre-Chorus]
The bard raised her glass with a tear in her grin
The dwarf said, To losing, then fighting to win
The mage held the stars like a lantern held down

[Chorus]
Last round before dawn
Drink to the road and the friends who go on
If we fall, let the old songs carry our names
If we live, we will never be lonely again
Last round before dawn
Raise up your hearts till the darkness is gone

[Verse]
The thief gave a coin to the palm of the knight
And said, Buy me breakfast if we see the light
The paladin laughed for the first time in years
And mercy came shining through all of his tears

[Pre-Chorus]
No prophecy promised our footsteps would last
No oracle opened a gate to the past
But love makes a kingdom where none can be found

[Chorus]
Last round before dawn
Drink to the road and the friends who go on
If we fall, let the old songs carry our names
If we live, we will never be lonely again
Last round before dawn
Raise up your hearts till the darkness is gone

[Bridge]
There are roads that end in fire
There are songs that end in scars
There are fools who face an empire
With a candle and guitars
But the fool who stands beside you
When the final torches fade
Is the reason fear can tremble
At the edge of any blade

[Build-up]
One for the lost
One for the found
One for the oath
One for the ground
One for the door
One for the flame
One for the friends
Who remember your name

[Chorus]
Last round before dawn
Drink to the road and the friends who go on
If we fall, let the old songs carry our names
If we live, we will never be lonely again
Last round before dawn
Raise up your hearts till the darkness is gone

[Outro]
One last cup before the blade
One last song, and we’re not afraid
