Lyrics
[instrumental strings]
[Verse 1]
In the tavern's glow, where the tales are spun,
Golden goblets brim with wine, a royal fun.
Jade plates piled high with delicacies so fine,
Yet the heart is heavy, and the feast doth pall.
[Chorus]
Oh, the path we tread is fraught with woe,
A thousand threads of fate in the balance, we go.
Raise your tankards high, let the ale flow free,
For the road ahead is long, and the journey, it's me.
[Verse 2]
I set down my chopsticks, my appetite's fled,
Draw my sword, look around, my spirit's led astray.
Crossing the Yellow River where the ice blocks the way,
Climbing the Taihang Mountains, where the snows have their say.
[Bridge]
By the clear stream, I cast my line, in peace I find,
Then in dreams, I sail on the boat where the sun doth shine.
The journey's hard, the journey's hard, where do we stand?
A path of many forks, a choice in every land.
[instrumental strings]
[Chorus]
Oh, the path we tread is fraught with woe,
A thousand threads of fate in the balance, we go.
Raise your tankards high, let the ale flow free,
For the road ahead is long, and the journey, it's me.
[Outro]
When the winds of fortune blow, we'll ride the waves,
With sails unfurled, we'll cross the vast and raving seas.
For the road
[instrumental strings]
[Chorus]
Oh, the path we tread is fraught with woe,
A thousand threads of fate in the balance, we go.
Raise your tankards high, let the ale flow free,
For the road ahead is long, and the journey, it's me.
[Outro]
When the winds of fortune blow, we'll ride the waves,
With sails unfurled, we'll cross the vast and raving seas.
For the road, though hard, will yield to the brave,
In the tavern's heart, where the dragons pave the way.
[End]
