[OPENING] [ATMOSPHERIC TAVERN SOUNDS] [DISHES CLANKING] [ATMOSPHERIC TAVERN SOUNDS] [FIRE CRACKLING] [ATMOSPHERIC TAVERN SOUNDS] [DISTANT LAUGHTER] [SPOKEN] [PEASANT 1] Oi, did ya 'ear 'bout them lot from over the hills? The ones whom fought them dark wizards? [SPOKEN] [PEASANT 2] Aye, I 'eard sumthin 'bout 'em. Brave souls some say... But who really knows the truth of it? [SPOKEN] [PEASANT 1] Right scary, them Wizards and all that. Can’t imagine anyone takin’ 'em on. [SPOKEN] [HEROIC BARD] Ay! Gather 'round, me good folk, and let me tell ye the tale. This be no mere rumor, but the very truth of heroes grand. Listen close, for the night is long! [HARP SOLO] [FLUTE SOLO] [VERSE 1] In ages dark, where shadows loom, A tale unfolds in ancient gloom. Of brave companions, hearts of flame, Who rose against the wizards’ claim. Through forests dense and mountains high, They marched beneath the starlit sky. With blades of steel and courage bright, They swore to turn the dark to light. [CHORUS] Raise your voices, sing their praise, Heroes of the ancient days. In the tavern, let it ring, Of the brave who fought the king. [VERSE 2] First strode forth the stalwart knight, His armor gleamed in twilight’s light. With sword in hand, a beacon true, He carved the path that all men knew. Beside him danced the cunning rogue, Her steps as silent as the fog. With daggers swift and eyes of fire, Through every danger, she’d aspire. [CHORUS] Raise your voices, sing their praise, Heroes of the ancient days. In the tavern, let it ring, Of the brave who fought the king. [HARP SOLO] [VERSE 3] A ranger with an eagle’s sight, His arrows swift as winter’s bite, Guarded paths both near and far, A shadow with the northern star. The sorceress, with wisdom old, Her staff aglow with runes of gold. She spoke the words of ancient lore, And magic flowed from her once more. [VERSE 4] The cleric, blessed with healing hands, Stood firm amidst the battle’s sands. His prayers a shield, his faith a light, Guided all through darkest night. Their banner high, they charged ahead, With cries that woke the living dead. Against the empire’s cruel command, They fought to free their ravaged land. [CHORUS] Raise your voices, sing their praise, Heroes of the ancient days. In the tavern, let it ring, Of the brave who fought the king. [VERSE 5] Through clash and cry, the battle roared, As steel met spell and might was poured. The dark wizards, with power vast, Quaked before the heroes’ blast. Through fire and storm, through blood and pain, The brave companions broke the chain. Their hearts ablaze, their spirits free, They fought for all, for you, for me. [CHORUS] Raise your voices, sing their praise, Heroes of the ancient days. In the tavern, let it ring, Of the brave who fought the king. [VERSE 6] The evil empire, brought to heel, Felt the bite of justice’ steel. The dark wizards, shadows past, Fled before the heroes’ cast. So ends the tale, yet echoes still, In hearts of those with iron will. When night seems dark and cold as stone, Remember heroes’ deeds well known. [CHORUS] Raise your voices, sing their praise, Heroes of the ancient days. In the tavern, let it ring, Of the brave who fought the king. [HARP SOLO] [CHORUS] Raise your voices, sing their praise, Heroes of these darkened days. In the tavern, let us sing, Of the brave who fought the king. [HARP SOLO] [VERSE 2] First strode forth the stalwart knight, His armor gleamed in twilight’s light. With sword in hand, a beacon true, He carved the path to pass through. Beside him danced the cunning rogue, Her steps as silent as the smoke. With daggers swift and eyes of fire, Through every danger, she’d aspire.

[HARP SOLO] [VERSE 6] In final stand, our heroes met, The evil king, his darkest threat. With dragon fierce and sorcery vile, The battle raged for countless miles. Through treachery, the king did strike, With magic dark and dragon's might. Though valiant hearts did fight and fall, Their courage echoes through us all. So ends their tale, yet lingers still, In hearts of those with iron will. When night is dark and hope seems gone, Remember heroes’ deeds live on. [CHORUS] Raise your voices, sing their praise, Heroes of these darkened days. In the tavern, let us sing, Of the brave who fought the king. [HARP SOLO] [OUTRO] Raise your voices, sing their praise, Heroes of these darkened days. In the tavern, let us sing, Of the brave who fought the king. [END]
