Watchers on the Wall

Imprisoned for so long

I forgot the light of day

Until the man in black came for me

He said he wanted me for the wall

I gladly agreed

To save my life and be free

So now I will take the black

For my freedom and honor

I shall give my life

Brothers now join in this watch

We will walk on the Wall

for the rest of our lives

I'll be one of the brave and few

Speak this oath by old gods and new

By the walls of Castle Black

I swear to raise my sword

and defend all of Westeros

We are watchers on the Wall

We are the brothers of the night

We are the ravens in the snow

We are the keepers of the light

Night gathers, and our watch begins.

Tonight the dead shall rise

This night is colder than ever

The Wall stands silently

I smell a stench on the breeze

A soft noise from behind

I hear distant shuffling

Something evil is coming for me

It shall not end until my death.

I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children.

I shall wear no crowns and win no glory.

I shall live and die at my post.

I am the sword in the darkness.

I am the watcher on the walls.

I am the fire that burns against the cold,

the light that brings the dawn,

the horn that wakes the sleepers,

the shield that guards the realms of men.

I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch,

for this night and all the nights to come.
