[Intro]
A coal in the dark, a spark in the stone
A fire remembers the way back home

[Verse]
The hollow king rose with a crown full of night
His shadow devoured the last of our light
The door stood open, the worlds bent thin
And every old terror came crawling in

[Pre-Chorus]
The mage cried, The flame in the tavern still burns
The bard sang, Then every lost story returns
The paladin lifted his sword to the sky

[Chorus]
When the hearth becomes the sun
Every broken road is one
Every name the dark has stolen
Burns again in golden motion
When the hearth becomes the sun
Stand together, do not run

[Verse]
Ironbeard struck and the black crown rang
The thief turned the key as the whole hall sang
The bard gave the chorus the dead used to know
The mage made the fire of memory grow

[Pre-Chorus]
The paladin stepped through the river of flame
And called the old monster by mercy’s name
For darkness can starve where forgiveness survives

[Chorus]
When the hearth becomes the sun
Every broken road is one
Every name the dark has stolen
Burns again in golden motion
When the hearth becomes the sun
Stand together, do not run

[Solo]
Fiddle like lightning, guitar like steel
Drums like the turning of every wheel

[Build-up]
Hold the door
Hold the line
Feed the flame
Give it time
Raise the song
Raise the shield
Let the wounded world be healed

[Drop]
Fire rose
Night was torn
Five stood bright
Dawn was born

[Bridge]
No throne was claimed, no crown was worn
Just tired hands in a golden morn
The tavern sighed, the portal closed
And somewhere a new road quietly rose

[Chorus]
When the hearth becomes the sun
Every broken road is one
Every name the dark has stolen
Burns again in golden motion
When the hearth becomes the sun
Stand together, do not run

[Chorus]
When the hearth becomes the sun
Raise your glass for what we’ve done
Not for glory, not for gold
But for the tales that must be told
When the hearth becomes the sun
Every ending has begun

[Outro]
Rain on the roof and a fire in the hall
Footsteps arriving from nowhere at all
A coal in the dark, a spark in the stone
The next lost traveler is finding home
