Lyrics

[Intro - Sparse acoustic guitar]

[Verse 1 - Male, Baritone, Quiet]
There's a cup upon a broken stone
Where a wizard's tower used to stand
Floating in the black between the stars
On an asteroid no map has planned
They say it stops the price of age
Keeps the drinker from the grave
But we don't want to live forever
We just want to save

[Chorus - Building slightly]
The chalice of ages, the chalice of light
Holding back death for one more fight
Marius is waiting where the watcher keeps his chains
We'll drink the cup and break the door
And bring him home again

[Verse 2 - Male, Baritone]
Cinder carries what he left behind
A child that's never gonna know his face
She don't ask us for revenge or blood
She just says please, bring him to this place
Aldrick drinks to dull the guilt
Of the day the dragon won
But guilt don't leave, it just gets quiet
Like a bell that's almost done

[Chorus]
The chalice of ages, the chalice of light
Holding back death for one more fight
Marius is waiting where the watcher keeps his chains
We'll drink the cup and break the door
And bring him home again

[Bridge - Spoken, sparse]
We stood at the edge of a caved-in stair
Night sight blessing on our eyes
Seven cat folk, a tree, a dwarf
A wizard, a rogue, and a prayer
Going down into the dark
Because that's where the light has to go

[Verse 3 - Male, Building]
Zool the Watcher sewed their eyes shut
Carved his symbol in their heads
Eight thousand years behind a cage
And he's still making people dead
But we killed his puppet Nall
Stripped divinity from bone
And if a god can bleed and die
Then a watcher can be overthrown

[Chorus - Full, Final]
The chalice of ages, the chalice of light
Holding back death for one more fight
Marius is waiting where the watcher keeps his chains
We'll drink the cup and break the door
We'll drink the cup and break the door
And bring him home again

[Outro - Acoustic guitar fade, single vocal line]
We'll bring him home again
[End]
