lyrics

Arya:
How do you sleep
When the pictures creep
In the night like a light shining in your eye?
How do you rest
with the weight on your chest
of the shade that the blade casts in the sky?

Yorin:
Hush your mouth and don't you cry
Have another swig of wine
It tastes like piss and turpentine but it does the trick alright
Now when I rest my weary head
I think of those I wish were dead
And I call their names out one by one till the stars all fade away

When I was a boy
still blind with joy
of the ten year summer of my youth
I saw my brother flayed alive
I swear I tell the gods whole truth
His name it never left my lips
for a long ten years between
till I found him alone on Dragonstone at the age of seventeen
And I drove an axe in his skull so deep
it lies with him beneath the keep
and calm as stone I now can sleep on the wall way in the north

A:
Now the old man's gone
but I hear his song
Drowning out the cries of pain and grief
And every night by the dim moonlight my lit'ny brings me sweet relief
And I dream I'm running through the wood
My brothers by my side
As I lick my lips of lion's blood and howl in joy and pride
And when I wake with the morning sun
I know my story's not quite done
so I look my captors in the eye and I know my time will come.

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now.
