The Dark Horse

Verse 1

Buckets bang against the oak board

Crowds collect inside the cove

Old Bill bellows for a mug

Rats run beneath the rolling stool

Worn wood smells like spiced fruit

Lanterns light up the laughing faces

Pre-Chorus

The kegs are drained and dry

Pour the golden honey wine

Chorus

The Dark Horse

Gather for the evening prize

Swallow every drop of brew

The Dark Horse

Verse 2

Hooks hang by the hearth stone

Swords swing upon a leather belt

Tides turn within the narrow gut

Gold glitters on a greasy thumb

Boot heels strike the hollow floor

Every sailor finds a familiar friend

Pre-Chorus

The kegs are drained and dry

Pour the golden honey wine

Chorus

The Dark Horse

Gather for the evening prize

Swallow every drop of brew

The Dark Horse

Violin Solo

Guitar Solo

Bridge

We shout until the morning star

A brotherhood within the bar

Loud songs ring above the swell

Each glass has a tale to tell

Pre-Chorus

The kegs are drained and dry

Pour the golden honey wine

Chorus

The Dark Horse

Gather for the evening prize

Swallow every drop of brew

The Dark Horse

Chorus

Gather for the evening prize

Swallow every drop of brew

The Dark Horse

The Dark Horse

The Dark Horse
