| High in the crimson towers
|
| Hate between a mother’s eyes
|
| Certain of a costly price
|
| To pay when fire survives
|
| When all she loved has left the keep
|
| The rains above us gently weep
|
| And wash away the blood as it goes cold
|
| And so she spoke
|
| And so she spoke
|
| The lion of Castamere
|
| When none remain
|
| To mourn her reign
|
| So proud yet founded upon fear
|
| Gates swung open wide to wretches
|
| Lowborn pay the price in blood
|
| Placed upon the precipice
|
| Of near rising flood
|
| Terror in the hearts of children
|
| Worried that the war’s come home
|
| As the sound of wildfire burning
|
| Nears the lion’s throne
|
| Let it be fear she told them
|
| Let it be fear they know
|
| Let them become ashes now upon the fallen snow
|
| Blind with the power and fury
|
| Numb behind the dregs of wrath
|
| Set to pay the costly price
|
| And tread a father’s path
|
| When thousands battled in her name
|
| She stormed the gates and showered flame
|
| To break the wheel but then would forge her own
|
| And so she spoke
|
| And so she spoke
|
| The lion of Castamere
|
| When none remain
|
| To mourn her reign
|
| So proud yet founded upon fear
|
| «Let it be fear» she told them
|
| «Let it be fear» they know
|
| Let them become ashes now upon the fallen snow
|
| Burn them all down to embers
|
| Servants and lords the same
|
| Show them all fire and blood to win the mad queen’s game
|
| And with the swords lain down
|
| They screamed 'til the bells cried out
|
| In search of some mercy their hope became fear
|
| Their hope became fear
|
| And it fed her rage
|
| Her lust for the lion’s cage
|
| She’ll stand down for nothing
|
| Until they all cheer, with no one left here
|
| Castamere
|
| Let it be, let it be fear
|
| Castamere
|
| Let it be, let it be fear |
