Winter is Coming

An ode to A Song of Fire and Ice

Dark wings Dark words

Dark wings Dark words

Long summer is ending

Innocence must die

The wolf must hunt

and the raven must fly

Old bones remember

the sting and the bite

The Others come silent

in a blanket of night

The dragon is waking

with a gold molten crown

The northlands a gift

for the god that is drowned

The new gods are weak

The old gods are cruel

The power flows free

in the hands of a fool

Honor and kindness

the tools of the just

Betrayed like the rest

all ashes and dust

The young will now suffer

The old will regret

and all who survive

will never forget

Dark wings Dark words

Dark wings Dark words

The lion's ambition

the direwolf's pride

the stag's lamentation

the black crows now fly

the dead walk the halls

the living will join

whether master of secrets

or master of coin

dark wings dark words

dark wings dark words

Winter is coming

on castle and plain

Winter is coming

and with it comes pain

the wise maester knows

dark wings bring dark words

and a great storm of woes

Winter is coming

the long summer gone

The gods fade away

with the light of the sun
