King Robert
I used to rule the world
Armies rose when I gave the word
Now in the evening I drink alone
Think of life I used to know
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
“Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!”
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of gold, and that it all bends
I hear the bells of all septs are ringing
And Silent Sisters in choirs are singing
Be my mirror my hammers hangs
Scattered and idle my armies stand
For some reason I can’t explain
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(IOhhh)
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered kingdoms and the sound of drums
People could not believe what I’d become
Hungry Bloody Lannisters wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear the bells of all septs are ringing
And Silent Sisters in choirs are singing
Be my mirror my hammers hangs
Fattened and idle my armies now stand
For some reason I can’t explain
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
