It has many names and many faces Some men flee it, some men chase it Every man must face it in the end But no man can escape forever Sickness, aging, swords that sever No God, no shield, no keep that can defend So you can pray to all the gods, but tell me what will happen when There is no fire left to start your heart back up again? So you can fight for love or fight for vengeance Fight for honor or redemption Fight for what you will while you’re alive Fight to live or fight for power Never fight a single hour Fight for what you will, but you can’t hide 'Cause all men must die Pray to the old gods, pray to the new You’re only wasting breath 'Cause soon the endless winter comes and Bastards and kings are the same in death (blegh!) You can fight a 1000 men or you could fool 1001 You can freeze your heart in ice but death is certain as the sun Fight for love or fight for vengeance Fight for honor or redemption Fight for what you will while you’re alive Fight to live or fight for power Never fight a single hour Fight for what you will, but you can’t hide 'Cause all men must die 'Cause all men must die
