A bastard born to a king now dead But I travel with a different ghost I swore to the old gods To keep the watch until I fall I traveled north of north with a man with half a hand To the land of wildlings to find the king beyond the wall My only friends are a craven and a dwarf One I left behind and with the other we're at war But soon they'll think I broke my oath 'cause the one who new my secret fell to long claw walk with the northmen a minstrel king and a bone armored freak colder than my winter home where giants walk and mammoths wreak all alone and living a lie a wolf in black and a wolf in white false turncloak for the greater good but will it matter when the others come in the night (chorus) (fist verse)
