Priest Malburn – Tavern Keeper

[Verse 1] In a distant kingdom where ale foams like a river There lived a priest named Malburn He kept sacred secrets in a barrel of honey And at night he dived into the tavern, as if into a pool with his head [Chorus] Oh, Malbourne, our priest, magician of drunken spells You found your charm in the magic of wine and beer In the tavern is the light of your soul, in the glass is the meaning of life You are a priest who has found a common language with the gods behind the counter! [Verse 2] His prayers are toasts, his altar is a bar And every evening in a tavern is like a sacred rite "One more mug!" - he shouts at the top of his lungs And the gods smile at him, sacrificing hops [Guitar solo] [Bridge] But when morning comes and the light pours in through the window Marlbourne, our hero, wakes up first thing at the table "Where I am?" - he asks, looking at the empty mugs And then he remembers that he is a priest, that life does not bother him! [Chorus] Oh, Marlbourne, lord of drunkenness, patron of fun Your faith does not require fasting, just to take a walk In every mug there is a prayer, in every laughter there is a parable. You are a priest who found your only truth in wine! [Guitar Turnaround, with drums] [Bridge] But when morning comes and the light pours in through the window Marlbourne, our hero, wakes up first thing at the table "Where I am?" - he asks, looking at the empty mugs And then he remembers that he is a priest, that life does not bother him! [Chorus] You are the priest who amused the gods and carried them away in your heart In the tavern you will find your answers, in a glass - eternal light! Oh, Malbourne, our bright prophet, in the delirium of found wisdom You see the cosmic essence in every drop of alcohol [Ending Riff, Drum Solo] [End]
