A shot in the dark A past lost in space And where do I start? The past and the chase You hunted her down Liked a wolf, a predator I felt like a deer in love lights
You loved her and I froze in time Hungry for that flesh of yours But I can’t compete with the she-wolf, who has brought me to my knees What do you see in those yellow eyes? ‘Cause I’m falling to pieces
I’m falling to pieces I’m falling to pieces I’m falling to pieces Falling to pieces
Did she lie in wait? Was I bait to pull you in? The thrill of the kill You feel is a sin You lay with the wolves Alone, it seems, I thought I was part of you
You loved her and I froze in time Hungry for that flesh of yours But I can’t compete with the she-wolf, who has brought me to my knees What do you see in those yellow eyes? ‘Cause I’m falling to pieces
I’m falling to pieces I’m falling to pieces I’m falling to pieces Falling to pieces
NOW SUNG BY LYANNA STARK AND PRINCE RHAEGAR TARYGARYAN AND NED STARK in lieu of COSSETTE AND MARIUS AND VALJEAN
LYANNA STARK I am changed All these feelings come on so fast It’s strange, What’s the matter with me, Lyanna? Your brothers left you too much alone. So many things unknown. I’m too much on my own.
He’s my love. And I have questions unanswered That somehow are wrong
He’s my love. The sigh of his faraway song And he sings Of dragons I long to see Not in reach Yet a breath away Waiting for me.
Is he really alive? To touch him is real Does he see what I saw? Does he feel what I feel?
With my love I’m no longer alone With a dragon in my life. He’s so near Rhaegar, find me know! Find me here!
NED STARK Dear Lya, You’re such a lovely girl. With a strong wolfish will. You seem so sad to me. Lyanna, if I had the power I’d fill each and every hour But you are the wolf, I see. Stuck with only me for company.
LYANNA STARK Very little do I know Of certain things I long to know. Of the woman I am Not the child long ago. Ned, you have nothing to say But my love you have known Why keep the secret to yourself? Why make me stay alone? So dark, so dark and deep All the secrets the Starks keep. In my time You give me all I want You are kind and tender and good. But dear Ned, dear Ned To you I am just a child Like a wolf running wild.
NED STARK No more talk of love No more talk. Let this love be dead. There are things You never heard. They are better unsaid.
LYANNA STARK But brother dear! I’m not a child! You hear? I demand the truth you know Of the time not long ago.
NED STARK You will learn. The truth comes in time. Given by the old gods In their own turn.
(Ned leaves the godswood and Lyanna is alone; spying through the wolfwood, Rhaegar Targaryan arrives.)
PRINCE RHAEGAR TARYGARYAN For my love, She sounds like the music I sing. She lights the sun. And my heart does stop. Our love cannot be over Before it’s scarcely begun. Lyanna, The gods in your wood have brought me here. Will she meet me here? She is so near That I fly like a Dragon in a world that is free.
LYANNA STARK (Unaware Rhaegar is eavesdropping) Every word Ned said is a dagger in me. For my love No one like my dragon, anywhere Anywhere, where he is. If he asked – I’d be his. In my life Rhaegar touches my life. I’m waiting here. I hope he’s near.
[Rhaegar sneaks into the Winterfell godswood to meet Lyanna Stark, who sits under the heart tree reading a book)
RHAEGAR TARGARYAN My heart’s full of love My heart’s full of song My words All sound Wrong I want to know your name? I’m so filled with shame. Dear Lady Stark? Won’t you say? Make my day?
LYANNA STARK My heart’s full of love. No fears, no tears.
RHAEGAR TARGARYAN I’m Prince Rhaegar Targaryen
LYANNA STARK I am Lyanna, or Lya
RHAEGAR TARGARYAN Lya, I don’t know how to say -
LYANNA STARK No! There is no way …
RHAEGAR TARGARYAN Make no sound
LYANNA STARK I am lost.
RHAEGAR TARGARYAN Now you’re found!
LYANNA STARK A heart full of light.
RHAEGAR TARGARYAN A bright night to light our way And you must never go away Dear Lya, Lya.
LYANNA STARK Ours is a vow We’ll never break.
RHAEGAR TARGARYAN I have a dream …
LYANNA STARK We’re both awake!
RHAEGAR TARGARYAN My heart’s full of love You are now mine to lose.
LYANNA STARK My heart’s full of you. Why dream of what cannot be?
RHAEGAR TARGARYAN Just one look and I knew
LYANNA STARK For me too. I saw you jousting too.
RHAEGAR TARGARYAN From today, you and me
LYANNA STARK Everyday, you and me.
BOTH LYANNA STARK and RHAEGAR TARGARYAN This isn’t a dream Our hearts full of love. We will find a way. After all, we feel this way: Our hearts full of love.
LYANNA STARK Oooooh –Oooooh, whoo – whoo – Nobody can do it like a dragon. Oooooh –Oooooh, whoo – whoo – Together he and I are a dream team.
I know him when I see him, Long before he spots me. I hear Rhaegar’s distant song. He invites me to sing along
And then he’ll wink at me. He’ll send a look to woo me. He’ll whistle at me. I’m gonna hitch him to me.
Someday soon he’ll sing to me. That’s how I’ll recognize him. And maybe I will sing to him That should surprise him. I do not want war and drumming Only my Rhaegar and his humming. I want steam that’s under pressure That rises to our scream.
Rhaegar sing to me. I’m all anticipation. I need a dragon to sing to me. He fills me with elation.
Come on, Rhaegar, sing to me. I’m longing to be near him. I’ll know him when I hear him Oooooh –Oooooh, whoo – whoo – ‘Cause he’ll sing to me.
FEATURING LYANNA, SANSA, JON SNOW, ROBERT, RHAEGAR AND THEIR FALLEN COMRADES NED STARK Alone, I wait in darkness. I count the hours. Till I can sleep. In my dream Lyanna’s standing by. I made her weep To know I die. Alone, to the old gods I pray That on this my last day Please keep my children safe In your embrace In their case. Gods on high, Hear my prayer. I am ready For your care. I do dare. I am there. Let me see. Where I’ll be For eternity –a tree. Take me home. I want my home.
LYANNA My dear Ned, I bless your name.
NED STARK I’m ready, Lya.
LYANNA Brother, rest, all the same.
NED STARK This is my last of days
LYANNA You raised my Jon with love.
NED STARK He’s a man of the Watch
LYANNA The old gods will take you.
SANSA Father, what can I do? Father, I love you. They said you’d gone away!
NED STARK Sansa, my dear. Thank the gods you’re here. What a good day.
JON SNOW Father, please forgive me. I wanted you to see That I am living Because of all your giving. Dear Father, you are too good. Shall I carry you out to the godswood? I have been at the Wall An ice cliff so tall But I came home to you.
NED STARK Now you are here. Sit beside me. So I can die in peace. I have been blessed. Let me rest.
JON SNOW You will live! Father, you will live. I refuse to say good-bye.
NED STARK Jon, do not forbid me now to die. I ask Why? I can try. To the tree I send my last confession. I will see When I am finally sleeping. My short story Of your mother’s love for you. Lya gave her life for you. Then she gave you to my keeping.
LYANNA Come with me. Nightmares will never find you. All your regrets At last, Will be behind you. And to the old gods I pray for mercy.
NED STARK Forgive all my sins. Take me to my glory.
NED STARK, LYANNA, RHAEGAR, AND ROBERT Take our hand. We’ll lead you to the night land. Take our hearts, In which you are a part. And remember Our times at Winter-Fell We did dwell In a heaven Not a hell.
CHORUS OF ALL WHO DIED IN ROBERT’S REBELLION AND ON THE WALL Do you hear the North lords sing? Heading to the valley of the night. It is the singing in the trees Leading us into the light. On earth did we meet our end. Into the roots we’ll wend. The soul never lies. The dark night will end. And we will rise. We have laid down the sword In order to seek out The old gods and their reward.
Will you march in our parade? Will you join hands with me? Our lives have been made So in death we soon shall see. Do you hear the Children sing? Their shields a distant drum. It is our death they mean to bring, When salvation comes.
Will you come and join on up? Will you drink from my cup? Raise your glass; drink with me. A new world we soon will see. Do you hear the Children sing? Their shields a distant drum. It is our death they mean to bring, When salvation comes.
I love you, Lyanna. I feel you. I was half afraid you’d waken. As you sleep I watch you. I am not mistaken – Lyanna! I’ll steal you, Lyanna, I’ll steal you.
I’ll steal you from Robert. I’ll steal you Do you think the walls of Winterfell can hide you? Even now, look out your window. I am on the ledge beside you. Buried sweetly in your chestnut hair!
I love you, Lyanna. And one day I’ll steal you!
Until I am with you then I’m beside you there Buried sweetly in your chestnut hair!
[LYANNA is alone in the TOJ, her newly born son in a basket within arm’s reach, but she is still too weak to hold him to her breast]
LYANNA
Once upon a time, My Dragon Prince was kind, His tender kisses so inviting. Once upon a time When Robert was kind, And the Dragon’s sweet song Was so exciting. Once upon a time … Then it all went wrong.
I dreamed a dream of passion gone by When our Tower of Joy was high, Our love worth giving I dreamed Rhaegar would never die. I dreamed that Robert would be forgiving.
But I was silly to be unafraid. Our dreams were made and used And wasted. Death was the price that had to be paid For songs we sung And wine we tasted.
But the Storm Lord came at night, With his war hammer loud as thunder, As he tore my love apart, As he turned my dream to shame.
Rhaegar slept hot nights by my side. He filled my days With endless wonder. But he was smashed when Robert came.
Still I dream the Dragon will return to me. So we may live as shades together. But some dreams can never be, Even a Storm Lord The Dragon could not better.
I had a dream our love would be Filled with children, our endless giving. Our son’s birth is not how I dreamed … Robert has killed The dream we dreamed
[Lyanna is lying in a bed of blood, delirious, dreaming of her sweet prince]
LYANNA:
Rhaegar, why am I so cold? Your son, it’s past his bedtime . He’s cried the day away And soon it will be night.
Come to me, Rhaegar, your light is fading. I see your fiery star in the sky appearing?
Come to me My love, your head against my shoulder. How fast our time did fly away, every minute colder.
Hurry near, for I will soon be dying. I do hear winter, in the wind it’s crying?
There’s a snow that comes without a warning - But I will kiss you a thousand times before it’s ever morning.
[Ned enters.]
NED: Oh, Lya, our time is running out. But , Lyanna, I swear this on my life. Lyanna: Look, Ned, where Rhaegar and his son play? NED: May the old gods grant her peace evermore. Lyanna: Promise me, my son? NED: He Shall live in my protection. Lyanna: A child of Winterfell? NED: Rhaegar’s son will want for nothing. Lyanna: Ned, you come from the gods in our tree. NED: And none will ever harm the babe with me, As long as I am living. Lyanna: Promise me! NED: Take my hand, Lyanna: The chill grows ever colder.
NED: Then I will keep you warm. Lyanna: Take my child, I give him to your keeping. Ned: He’ll be sheltered from the dragon’s storm … Lyanna: For my sake, please stay til I am sleeping And tell … NED: Jon. Lyanna: Jon … (she smiles weakly) I love him. And I’ll see him when I wake… [Lyanna dies with a smile; Ser Arthur Dayne arrives.]
CONFRONTATION BETWEEN ARTHUR DAYNE AND NED STARK at TOJ
Arthur Dayne:
At last,
I see your black heart plain . Honorable Ned Stark You will feel my pain!
NED:
Before you say one more word, Ser Dayne, Before you take her to the Prince again - Listen to me! There is something I must do.
My sister leaves behind a babe, my blood. As his uncle I must intercede. Give me some time, that’s all I need.
Then I’ll surrender, On my honor.
Then I’ll return…
Arthur Dayne (in counterpoint)
Men like you can never change! Men like Robert can never change! Lord Stark of Winterfell. My duty’s to the Dragonlord -
Not Lord Stark of Winterfell!
Dragonfire is all around - Eddard Stark is crowfood now! Dare you talk to me of honor? Your sister is the price you pay. Rhaegar’s blood is NOT a sin! The baby prince will learn another way.
You know nothing of Prince Rhaegar. He died a hero in ebon mail. He wasn’t born from wargs such as you! His son is a Dragon too! You’d kill a prince, your sister’s son? To extinguish dragonspawn. To me, Ned Stark, Taste my Dawn!
NED(in counterpoint)
Honor is what I must do - You know nothing of her life
All she did was love and wed. Look at her! You see her dead. Her last wish will be done. No one must know – Dragon or Stag – to prevent a mortal flood. In the North The Ice is our blood. I warn you, Ser Arthur Dayne. I am Wolf, and half insane. My grief is great indeed. Winterfell – I am no liar - Wants no part of smoke and fire! I am warning you, Ser Dayne - There is a beast deep in me. Its rage has not been spent. There is nothing I won’t dare. If I have to kill you here! If you touch one Stark brown hair! I’ll do what must be done!
Go ahead, cast the dice! To me, Ser Dayne. Kiss my Ice.
[Ned and Ser Dayne come to blows; Ned’s company kill the Kingsguard at TOJ. After, Ned turns to Lyanna]
NED: And this I swear to you , I never lied. Howland Reed: Now the truth must we always hide.
