Taking the Black Lyrics


So, you gonna dress the black

To say the words, to swear an oath

Your watch begins tonight

World covered by snow

Cold wind and ice, your brothers in arms

True colors are black and white

Night gathers, and now my watch begins

It shall not end until I'm gone

I am the sword, I am the shield

I am the watch for all nights to me

I am the watcher on the Wall

The sword in the dark, the shield for realm

The fire that burns against cold

I am the light that brings the dawn

I am saying these words

I am pledging my life

To live and die at my post

Night gathers, and now my watch begins

It shall not end until I'm gone

I am the sword, I am the shield

I am the watch for all nights to come
