The Last One Dancing

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!
