The Elder
At night in the village
We assemble together
We light up the fire
As the sun starts to pale
We bring out some mead
As the folks start to gather
And the elder sits down
For to tell us a tale
As he travels through time
He fights back the tears
For the beauty of ages that passed
All the friends and the women
He's loved with the years
He's here to make their story last
He talks about war
About soldiers and heroes
The pillage, the plunder
The glory, the shame
The friends that fall
As their last words still echoes
The brothers that fought
For glory and fame
As he travels through time
He fights back the tears
For the beauty of ages that passed
All the friends and the women
He's loved with the years
He's here to make their story last
As the elder falls quiet
And the fire's down to cinders
We finish our drink
With his words in our heads
We dance the last dance
And we cuddle our children
And we dream of what was
As we lay in our beds
For there's always a fight
Where you must prove your mettle
And the friends that surround you
Are blessed
Well, there's plenty of women
To love as you battle
Make sure to make your story last
As he travels through time
He fights back the tears
For the beauty of ages that passed
All the friends and the women
He's lost with the years
He's here to make their story last
Make sure to make your story last
Make sure to make your story last
Make sure to make your story last
Make sure to make your story last
We assemble together
We light up the fire
As the sun starts to pale
We bring out some mead
As the folks start to gather
And the elder sits down
For to tell us a tale
As he travels through time
He fights back the tears
For the beauty of ages that passed
All the friends and the women
He's loved with the years
He's here to make their story last
He talks about war
About soldiers and heroes
The pillage, the plunder
The glory, the shame
The friends that fall
As their last words still echoes
The brothers that fought
For glory and fame
As he travels through time
He fights back the tears
For the beauty of ages that passed
All the friends and the women
He's loved with the years
He's here to make their story last
As the elder falls quiet
And the fire's down to cinders
We finish our drink
With his words in our heads
We dance the last dance
And we cuddle our children
And we dream of what was
As we lay in our beds
For there's always a fight
Where you must prove your mettle
And the friends that surround you
Are blessed
Well, there's plenty of women
To love as you battle
Make sure to make your story last
As he travels through time
He fights back the tears
For the beauty of ages that passed
All the friends and the women
He's lost with the years
He's here to make their story last
Make sure to make your story last
Make sure to make your story last
Make sure to make your story last
Make sure to make your story last
