What, would one say,
is the beauty of a crown
Engraved with sapphires so bright
As the seven-god-starlight
When it lies smashed and shattered
on the cold marble stones
Where, would one ask,
is the pride of my hordes
With banners carried so fierce
Into death or glory, loyal for years
When their swords are broken
and their scales are pierced
The wolves have all left us
Summer howled the last time
Now winter is coming
Embracing this kingdom of mine
How, will one wonder
Will my heir reign this land?
With insanity being his mother
And deceit his hand
The lion?s heart,
Found in the Goblin and the Lady
It keeps the lies alive
It keeps the poisonous blood running
The blood of the rock in the west
Now just let it be, let it rest
And whisper to me
The wolves have all left us
Summer howled the last time
Now winter is coming
Embracing this kingdom of mine
The only truth is found in the fool.
But remember the lie
That?s all you need in the end anyway
Now take a breath, take a breath while you still can
Before you drown in the gold and red lies
Hear the woman?s voice in the back of you head
?One playing the game of thrones, rules or dies?
You played the game
You always played their game
In your friend?s name
Oh in my name
Now the cards are on the table
But your jokers are nowhere to be found
The wolves have all left us
Summer howled the last time
Now winter is coming
Embracing this kingdom of mine
