00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.500
Now there once was a time when the northerners sang

00:00:06.511 --> 00:00:10.451
Of a king they had crowned: More a boy than a man

00:00:10.451 --> 00:00:16.651
More a pup than a wolf, with the cold of the realm in his eyes

00:00:16.651 --> 00:00:22.376
He’d broken a vow to the lords of the twins:

00:00:22.376 --> 00:00:26.176
Wed a stranger, a beauty, but a promise there’d been

00:00:26.186 --> 00:00:33.626
So the Lord Frey demanded a bridegroom as compromise

00:00:33.626 --> 00:00:38.146
And the timbers groaned

00:00:38.146 --> 00:00:41.936
River wind softly moaned

00:00:41.936 --> 00:00:49.556
“Oh, the king in the north doesn’t know how a red wedding goes”

00:00:49.556 --> 00:00:54.356
Well, the feasting was plenty and the singing in tune

00:00:54.356 --> 00:00:58.356
And the stark wolves, they howled ‘neath their northern moon

00:00:58.356 --> 00:01:04.846
So loud were their cries that the closing of doors was drowned out

00:01:04.846 --> 00:01:10.512
Lady Catelyn alone had the river’s sharp ear

00:01:10.512 --> 00:01:14.762
Heard dancing reels turn to the rains of Castamere

00:01:14.762 --> 00:01:20.959
In her skin and bones growled a creature of doubt

00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:25.709
And the timbers groaned

00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:30.479
River wind softly moaned

00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:36.279
“Oh, the king in the north soon will know how a red wedding goes”

00:01:36.290 --> 00:01:42.250
There were arrows and daggers, and the touch of them burned;

00:01:42.250 --> 00:01:46.250
From players to slayers in an instant were turned

00:01:46.250 --> 00:01:53.620
And the foreigner queen was the first to fall under the knife

00:01:53.620 --> 00:01:58.440
With two arrows in him, the king crawled to her side

00:01:58.440 --> 00:02:02.360
While his mother, she pleaded for the lord to subside

00:02:02.360 --> 00:02:08.927
But he’d taken their word, and to break it meant no right to life

00:02:08.927 --> 00:02:14.037
And the timbers groaned

00:02:14.037 --> 00:02:18.127
River wind softly moaned

00:02:18.130 --> 00:02:25.570
“Oh, the king in the north, now he knows how a red wedding goes”

00:02:25.570 --> 00:02:30.690
Lord Bolton approached; with a thrust to Robb’s heart

00:02:30.699 --> 00:02:34.525
He gave him the Lannister lions’ regards

00:02:34.525 --> 00:02:40.095
And the king’s mother wept, for his last word had called her to him

00:02:40.107 --> 00:02:46.608
There was nothing she felt cutting Lady Frey’s throat

00:02:46.618 --> 00:02:50.478
And she felt nothing more when they slashed her own

00:02:50.478 --> 00:02:57.978
The north will remember, she thought, and they’ll have all your skins

00:02:57.978 --> 00:03:02.018
And the timbers groaned

00:03:02.018 --> 00:03:05.698
Now the wolves lie below

00:03:05.698 --> 00:03:09.318
Oh, the king in the north, if he’d known

00:03:09.333 --> 00:03:14.163
How a red wedding goes

00:03:14.163 --> 00:03:17.973
And the timbers groan

00:03:17.973 --> 00:03:22.383
But the north waits; they know

00:03:22.389 --> 00:03:25.940
That one day the blood they are owed

00:03:25.940 --> 00:03:30.040
Will run ‘neath their soles

00:03:30.046 --> 00:03:37.976
Will run ‘neath their soles
