The Seven

Ein Lied über Lady Stark, einen Charakter in Game of Thrones. Die Strophen beziehen sich auf eine Szene in Kapitel 33 von "A Clash of Kings", in der sie zu den Sieben betet. Der rockige Abschluss enthält Spoiler auf ihre spätere Geschichte.

Geschrieben wurde das Lied 2015 für mein Rick'n'Rill-Set auf der Filkcontinental - großartig mit echten Blockflöten im Intro!

Warning: contains Game of Throne spoilers

1. There’s a lady not sure if
   It’s true what they told
   And she’s praying for help to the Seven
   When she gets there she knows
   As the Septa is closed
   How to pray in the words
   Of her childhood
   Ooh-ooh-hoo, hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
   And she's praying for help to the Seven
   
2. There are signs on the walls
   Charcoal drawings of god
   Cause she knows that God has seven faces
   There’s a tree by the brook
   Where the Old Gods have eyes
   Sometimes all of her thoughts are misgiven
   Ooh, it makes her wonder
   Ooh, it makes her wonder
   
3. There’s a feeling she gets
   When the looks to the west
   And her spirit is crying for leaving
   In her thoughts she has seen
   Death and blood through the trees
   And the voices of love that have warned her
   Ooh, it makes her wonder
   Ooh, really makes her wonder
   
4. And it's whispered that soon
   If we all know the runes
   That the long lasting summer is over
   And a new day will dawn
   Icy evil will spawn
   And the north knows that winter is coming
   Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-ho-oh
   
5. Prays to the mother for her sons
   She is alarmed now
   A vision comes, she sees the High Queen
   Yes, there’s are dark path that she goes
   By but in the long run
   The Queen’s a mother who fights for her son
   And it makes her wonder. Oh-oh-ho
   
6. Her head is humming, and her eyes burn
   And then she does know
   The wicked secret of the boy king
   Her husband, and good friends have found out
   They are dead know
   And little Bran will never walk again

And as she winds on down the road
Her shadows taller than her soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who went to death, her heart is stone
She puts her hand on open wounds
You have to listen very hard
And vengeance comes to her at last
When all is lost, then kill them all
She is a rock and that’s the toll
And she's praying  for help to the Seven
