The Living Toll — Lyra Vesperi
Behind every raised glass in the local pub, there’s a story of worn-out boots and callous hands. "The Living Toll" is a gritty Stomp and Holler anthem for those who know the weight of a long day's work. It’s not about glory or destiny; it’s about the raw, rhythmic cycle of earning your keep and finding that brief, necessary spark of joy at the bottom of a tankard. With driving percussion and gang vocals, this track captures the spirit of the common folk blowing off steam before the sun rises again.

🍺 The Bard's Notes:
● Atmosphere & Roots: Stomp and Holler, Tavern Rock, Pub Folk, Working Class Anthem
● The Sounds: Aggressive Acoustic Strumming, Handclaps, Gang Vocals
● Perfect Settings: Late nights at the pub, historical scenes of village life, motivating a hard day's work, stomping along.

🎵 Lyrics:

The rooster hasn't crowed his song
But I was waking up
I pour the water from the jug
Into the chipped and broken cup
The boots are worn upon the heel
From walking on the stone
I step outside to face the wind
And do it on my own

I watch the merchant pass me by
With velvet on the seat
He throws a look of pity down
At dust upon my feet
I do not hate the lucky man
I do not hate the gold
I only hate the time I sell
Before I get too old

The bread is tough but fills the space
I have a fire, I have a place
So why do I feel hollowed out
With nothing left to scream or shout?

It's copper in the heavy hand
It's walking through the shifting sand
I push the rock, I climb the hill
But I am standing still
We laugh a bit and drink the ale
To hide the wind behind the sail
A happy tune, a heavy soul
To pay the living toll!

I saved a silver coin last week
To buy a better coat
But then the roof began to leak
And water filled the moat
It seems the ladder has no top
It only has a ground
I try to climb to catch a breath
But I am spinning round

I see the couples in the square
With nothing on their minds
While I am calculating debts
And closing up the blinds
I love the sunset on the trees
I love the summer rain
But beauty doesn't pay the tax
Or take away the strain

The belly's full, the roof is tight
So why the heavy heart tonight?
I should be glad for what I got
But wishing for what I have not

It's copper in the heavy hand
It's walking through the shifting sand
I push the rock, I climb the hill
But I am standing still
We laugh a bit and drink the ale
To hide the wind behind the sail
A happy tune, a heavy soul
To pay the living toll!

My father worked until he broke
Without a single cry
He told me "son just watch the smoke
And never watch the sky"
But I am looking up above
And wondering what it means
To be a gear that turns the wheel
Inside the big machines

It's copper in the heavy hand
It's walking through the shifting sand
I push the rock, I climb the hill
But I am standing still
We laugh a bit and drink the ale
To hide the wind behind the sail
A happy tune, a heavy soul
To pay the living toll!

To pay the living toll
