Bartender, line the tankards up Five places at the wood I'm spending all the bounty gold Just like I said I would Don't look at me with pity, sir Don't ask me where they went Tonight we count the blessings Not the silver that we spent The shield is broke, the sword is dull The story has an end But I have got a coin or two For every missing friend The shadows try to pull me down But I will drown them in the sound But oh, I'm dancing on the floor I live the life they live no more My heart is beating loud and fast To make the heavy memory last One drink for sorrow, two for pain And three to never cry again So play the fiddle, stomp the ground I'll live for those who aren't around We walked into the dark abyss Six heroes bold and bright But I am all that walked away Into the morning light I stood upon the jagged cliff The wind was calling me To step into the empty air And join them in the sea I looked down at the crashing waves I almost took the leap To close my eyes one final time And join them in their sleep But then I heard their spirit say You have to see another day But oh, I'm dancing on the floor I live the life they live no more My heart is beating loud and fast To make the heavy memory last One drink for sorrow, two for pain And three to never cry again So play the fiddle, stomp the ground I'll live for those who aren't around They gave their breath so I could breathe They fell so I could stand So I will drink the finest wine In all this broken land If I sit down the silence comes And grabs me by the throat So I will sing until I choke On every happy note I promised him, the one I loved Before he lost his head That I would live a double life For all the ones who bled So fill the cup and raise it high Beneath the vast and empty sky But oh, I'm dancing on the floor I live the life they live no more My heart is beating loud and fast To make the heavy memory last One drink for sorrow, two for pain And three to never cry again So play the fiddle, stomp the ground I'll live for those who aren't around I'm sorry that I'm here alone I'm sorry that I made it home But oh, I'm dancing on the floor I live the life they live no more My heart is beating loud and fast To make the heavy memory last One drink for sorrow, two for pain And three to never cry again So play the fiddle, stomp the ground I'll live for those who aren't around For those who aren't around For those who aren't around
