Cast out from the lands of their births
Banished from hearth and home
All brothers must swear the oath

Forsaking all they've ever known

Those who choose to take the black

Bid farewell to comforts great and small
Those who do, don't come back
Prepare yourself for life on the wall


Night gathers and the watch begins
The wind carries an unnatural chill

There are things beyond the northern borders
Mere steel can't kill


Men who choose to take the black
Rogues and rangers, one and all
Those who do, won't come back

Prepare yourself for life on the wall
