about

This song is a fantastical retelling of our eventful road trip to and from Chicago to play the Legions of Metal festival in 2019.

lyrics

Pack up all your gear and let's go
Travelers blast off far from their home
Adventure calls we hear the song of the road
We play it fast and loud, you fucking know
Distant lands need the hammer we bring
So we'll live off of grease and cheap whiskey
Pray to the motor sanctified with riffs
You can get on board or you can just eat shit

Adventurers
Leave troubles behind
Oh, adventurers
What troubles will they find

The mountain
Looms in view
An obstacle
Of mythic truth

Punch the pedal and we elevate
The king's toll will not be paid
Adventurers always make their own way
The bard's song forever remains
The mountain's ascent passes without event
But as we slide down we know that our brakes are spent
Launching dead weight into the valley below
We bid goodbye and it's on with the show

Adventurers
Leave troubles behind
Oh, adventurers
What troubles will they find

The tower
Looms in view
Wreathed in song
We add our voice

Solo: Millard

Dark alchemy has us compromised
Our chariot must fight for its life
Racing through the oncoming night
No sleep
Or we fucking die

Adventurers
Leave troubles behind
Oh, adventurers
What troubles will they find

As we ride
The sun does rise
Still so far
But we won't stop

Look ahead, the light shines through
And we know just what to do
Never hesitate
The stage was set for victory
Warriors returning
From a glorious campaign

Adventurers
