Seeking the Brave
[Verse 1]
From the mire
Raise my head
Ha ha! They thought I was dead
Now, where was I before the wolves came around
I have heard
Here and there
Of wealth as free as the air
Of truth that's clear as a crystal
Of labor without worries or cares

[Verse 2]
I have heard
Of a clan
Out of here in faraway lands
Of wood dwelling rebels and revelers
I was told
By a friend
That this great quest would only begin
If I'd stopped circling in circles behind my own bars
And spiral on out to the firey start

[Verse 3]
Cross this river
Pay the toll
By the gods! I feell I'm so close
From which direction did the night music drift?
I am warm, tirsty and thin
I stumble into an old inn
And the barman inquires, "A bed or grave?"
I say "Neither. I'm seeking the brave"
[Bridge]
I'm seeking the brave
I'm seeking the brave
I'm seeking the brave

[Outro]
'Round the licks
A victory dance
Eat and drink and sing, my children
[x4]
