lyrics

Under cruel gods and frozen skies
Ancient terrors prepare to strike
Keeping our watch for the long night
Where malevolent winds blow
The truth is that winter has returned
While wars destroy the realm
Our massive barrier of blood and ice
Built to last for all time

Knights, heroes and lords
With no wives or lovers
Rapists, thieves and traitors
No longer who they were
Oaths taken before all gods
No crowns, titles or thrones
A solemn duty, defend the realm
Only in death may your watch end.

Chorus
Cloaks of black with binding words
Unbreakable for life
This is our fate that we may serve
To die at the wall.

Our ranks have thinned, our task is great
But in this frozen waste we stand
Under the crumbling towers of castle black
Guarding the edge of our land
To our people our deaths be gifts
None will morn our lives
Tales we take to our forgotten graves
Where the stranger waits for us

Chorus
Cloaks of black with binding words
Unbreakable for life
This is our fate that we may serve
To die at the wall.

Wilding raids and a turncoat king
Ungodly blizzards ripping our flesh
Elements that have killed before
Hopeless soldiers in an eternal war
Out beyond the reach of the seven
Evil rises once more
Ruthless and inhuman
The others, the while walkers

Frozen hearts and frozen disgrace
Riding in this snowbound waste
In a land of wild cries
Where no tale of joy may rise

3 blasts of the horn
Bloody fields and flashing blades
Arrows fly and men scream
Dead again by dragon glass and valerian steel
They from parts beyond us
The embers in their eyes
With the fires of seven hells
Glowing blades in cold grips

Dark omens arrive on dark wings
Under the snow old legends stir again
We wait for what trials the gods bring
The song of Ice and Fire plays on
From Eastwatch by the Sea
To the Shadow Tower
On the border of westeros
Nights Watch, Swords in the dark

Chorus
Cloaks of black with binding words
Unbreakable for life
This is our fate that we may serve
To die at the wall.
