Arya's Prayer

Living life on the run it's a sad, short story

Been with my troubles from the day they killed Jory

Middle child of five but I'm wilder and I'm smarter,

Quick as a snake and calm as still water

After Joffrey made a martyr of my father,

I had to flee the city but my heart grew harder

Got to get to Winterfell, Yoren knows the deal

Cats soft like Lommy, all they want to do is yield,

For real. See, every wagon needs a wheel,

And at ten, I stay sharp like castle-forged steel

The Lannisters are looking and the Gold Cloaks came

They want to gut a boy, but Arya's not the name

So we sent them packing, they came back in the night

I put the axe in the wagon because the man can fight

Green boys outnumber, saw a few boys fall

They took all of us except Lommy back to black Harren's Hall

Watch it all come around as I lay on the ground,

Joffrey, Cersei, Ilyn Payne, the Hound

They all think I'm lost but I know where I'm found,

I'm the blood in the North when it all comes down

My word is my bond and my bond is my word,

Valar Dohaeris, \"All men must serve\" Valar Dohaeris

See as the raven flies and time slips by,

Valar Morghulis, \"All men must die\" Valar Morghulis

Harren the Black's legacy, the tallest of them all

Now a blasted out ruin and my prison, Harrenhal

Death in every black tower, pain in every rotted steeple,

Ain't no room for hope and it smells of dead people

Evil. Man, Arya, or Weasel

The ghost in these walls when I speak names, lethal

Pawn in the game, all the same, I'm a catalyst,

For the bishops' table, then I mingle with the savages

Old Lord Lion tracks my family in the field,

Ask me if I believe anyone can be killed

For real, I get three, that's the deal

Not too far from my first, soon I'll know how it feels

Thought that I was caught between my lord and the law,

But I show no fear it cuts deeper than swords

You're damn right, had I led a different life,

And maybe been a child of Pike, I'd gladly paid the Iron Price

Watch it all come around as I lay on the ground,

Joffrey, Cersei, Ilyn Payne, the Hound

They all think I'm lost but I know where I'm found,

I'm the blood in the North when it all comes down

My word is my bond and my bond is my word,

Valar Dohaeris, \"All men must serve\" Valar Dohaeris

See as the raven flies and time slips by,

Valar Morghulis, \"All men must die\" Valar Morghulis

All over the realm, ran with cutthroats and pages,

And haven't seen the basics in this world with Five Graces.

Patience, just like I remain nameless,

I think I found my calling with a man who stays faceless

Nice to think that my hands would stay stainless,

But a girl keeps secrets; survival game, shameless

Tickler was cruel, armory or ignoramus

I named both names and a man was gracious

A man needs a name and a man pays his debts,

And a man owes three and a girl has requests

A girl wants the Old Lion, but a man must digress,

So a girl names a man as a man's last test

A girl un-names a man for some help to get away,

If a man does this thing then a girl must obey

A man gives a girl a coin as a girl decides to say,

\"The God of Death will have his due, but we say, 'Not today'\"

Watch it all come around as I lay on the ground,

Joffrey, Cersei, Ilyn Payne, the Hound

They all think I'm lost but I know where I'm found,

I'm the blood in the North when it all comes down

My word is my bond and my bond is my word,

Valar Dohaeris, \"All men must serve\" Valar Dohaeris

See as the raven flies and time slips by,

Valar Morghulis, \"All men must die\" Valar Morghulis
