Taking the Black

Have white and pasty wenches
Lost all of their allure
Do you plough and churn the field
And wish you could have more?
Don’t you fret my lucky man
A brave new world awaits
To change your life forever
Walk through the black gates
Cutthroats and rapists
Bastards and thieves
Honour and glory
Or death on your knees?
Stand your ground
Ring out the bell
On my command
Unleash Hell
Winter is coming
The choice has been made
You can’t turn away
From the course that is laid
You swore an oath
And you can’t take it back
Cause when you take the black
You can never go back!
Oaths that can’t be broken
Stay with you for life
Turn your back on winter
Take shadow for a wife
Turn away from sunshine
You can’t abide the light
You plunge our swords in darkness
And thrust away all night
Cutthroats and rapists
Bastards and thieves
Honour and glory
Or death on your knees?
Stand your ground
Ring out the bell
On my command
Unleash Hell
Black!
As the flightless crow
Black!
Sends me down below
Black!
Set me on this track
I’ve taken the black
I can never go back
Winter is coming
The choice has been made
You can’t turn away
From the course that is laid
You swore an oath
And you can’t take it back
Cause when you take the black
You can never go back!
