Castamere
Lyrics
We are not lions or falcons
Or creatures of the deep
We are not dragons or direwolves
Or wild beasts that crawl and creep
We keep our distance
We keep our heads
The animals of Westeros
Can tear each other to shreds
We stay alive
When the others are slain
A rose can thrive
In the sun and the rain
So let the rains weep o'er our halls
We have naught to fear
The rains fall down, the roses bud
So let it flood
We are not the Reynes of Castamere
Why won't she listen? She's angry
That's fine, I'll let her be
House Reyne is gone now, disposed of
I pray in time, she'll come to see
To be a Lannister
Means taking stock
Of anyone who dares insult
The pride of Casterly Rock
But roses bloom (Roses bloom)
We don't stay underground
That day of doom (That day of doom)
We would never have drowned
So let the rains weep o'er our halls
We'll sing loud and clear
The rains fall down, the roses sprout
And drown them out
Drowning out the ghosts of Castamere
And who am I to risk our lives?
My family's all I know
If I should fail, then what survives?
Who cares how strong we grow?
House Reyne grew strong (They grew strong)
And made their threats
Their ending will suffice (They met their end)
House Lannister might pay its debts
But House Tyrell
House Tyrell
House Tyrell
Won't pay that price
So let the rains weep o'er our halls
We won't shed a tear
The rains fall down, the roses lie in wait
We will not be the house that takes the lions' bait
Lest we share the fate of Castamere
We are not lions or falcons
Or creatures of the deep
We are not dragons or direwolves
Or wild beasts that crawl and creep
We keep our distance
We keep our heads
The animals of Westeros
Can tear each other to shreds
We stay alive
When the others are slain
A rose can thrive
In the sun and the rain
So let the rains weep o'er our halls
We have naught to fear
The rains fall down, the roses bud
So let it flood
We are not the Reynes of Castamere
Why won't she listen? She's angry
That's fine, I'll let her be
House Reyne is gone now, disposed of
I pray in time, she'll come to see
To be a Lannister
Means taking stock
Of anyone who dares insult
The pride of Casterly Rock
But roses bloom (Roses bloom)
We don't stay underground
That day of doom (That day of doom)
We would never have drowned
So let the rains weep o'er our halls
We'll sing loud and clear
The rains fall down, the roses sprout
And drown them out
Drowning out the ghosts of Castamere
And who am I to risk our lives?
My family's all I know
If I should fail, then what survives?
Who cares how strong we grow?
House Reyne grew strong (They grew strong)
And made their threats
Their ending will suffice (They met their end)
House Lannister might pay its debts
But House Tyrell
House Tyrell
House Tyrell
Won't pay that price
So let the rains weep o'er our halls
We won't shed a tear
The rains fall down, the roses lie in wait
We will not be the house that takes the lions' bait
Lest we share the fate of Castamere
