|
They stand, some divided |
|
This wall is frozen sided |
|
It stretches far along and |
|
Keeps the Others out of seven lands |
|
Dressed all in black and |
|
Hardened by lives forgotten |
|
Guilty or not they'll find life |
|
So when the night gathers |
|
My watch begins |
|
It won't end until my demise |
|
I might be a criminal |
|
Who still protects you |
|
To live is to die by my post |
|
A vow condemns me |
|
I pledged all my honour, I swore to the wall |
|
A sword in the darkness, I stay till it falls |
|
I'm the light that brings the dawn |
|
Through darkened nights |
|
Valiant, we wait for the storm |
|
A watcher on walls |
|
Winter is coming, I feel it |
|
I'm the fire that burns |
|
The heat that will ward off the bite of the cold |
|
I will die on the wall |
|
The nights feel much colder |
|
My lungs sting as I breathe |
|
I've seen the dead walk and |
|
I fear what might be coming soon for me |
|
While strings are pulled in |
|
This game of thrones that steals |
|
Attention away from what's real |
|
We need more men to fight them |
|
What lies beyond the wall |
|
These wild threats are calling |
|
Seeking the other side for home |
|
For this night and all the nights to come |
|
Only three keeps remaining |
|
You know I'll be here waiting |
|
Abandoned empty halls |
|
I'll never father children |
|
Have no wife, hold no lands |
|
The summer soon is over |
|
I might be looked down upon |
|
But still I serve you |
|
A shield to the realms of men |
|
A horn for the sleeping |
|
What's left of my honour I gave to the black |
|
An evil returning, the dead are back |
