Lyrics
[Verse]
Cobblestones glisten in the misty morn
A wheel’s creak
A traveler worn
Through the gate where shadows grow tall
The keeper whispers
"Pay the toll
Pay the toll."
[Chorus]
Pay the toll
The path ain't free
Silver for the road or a song for the sea
A coin or a tune
Your heart must enroll
No one passes without paying the toll
[Verse 2]
A sailor once came with his pockets bare
Salt in his beard
Wind in his stare
Sang of sirens and the storm's cruel call
The keeper nodded
"That'll pay the toll
Pay the toll."
[Prechorus]
Oh
The price you pay
It’s never gold
A tale
A truth
A secret untold
[Chorus]
Pay the toll
The path ain't free
Silver for the road or a song for the sea
A coin or a tune
Your heart must enroll
No one passes without paying the toll
[Bridge]
The merchant tried to barter his wares
A silk ribbon
A lock of dark hair
The keeper frowned
The wind did scold
“No trinkets here
Just pay the toll.”
