Текст песни
I started with a rusty sword and boots worn to the thread
And learned a simple lesson from the living and the dead
A man can talk of honor a man can talk of right
But gold will keep you warmer on a cold and lonely night
Oh I dont believe in kingdoms and I dont believe in gods
I just believe in knowing how to calculate the odds
A lord will make a promise a king will make a vow
But a castle and a title well Ill take that here and now
I dragged a little rich man to a stronghold in the sky
Where all the lords and ladies looked at me with judging eye
They thought my life was worthless that my word was cheap as sand
But the Imp saw something with a coin sack in his hand
Oh I dont believe in kingdoms and I dont believe in gods
I just believe in knowing how to calculate the odds
A lord will make a promise a king will make a vow
But a castle and a title well Ill take that here and now
He faced the open Moon Door a long and deadly fall
And needed a champion to answer justice’s call
I fought a knight in armor for promise and prize
And found that serving Lannisters could be quite nice
Oh I dont believe in kingdoms and I dont believe in gods
I just believe in knowing how to calculate the odds
A lord will make a promise a king will make a vow
But a castle and a title well Ill take that here and now
Down in the stinking city I kept him safe and sound
While schemers whispered poison on that cursed holy ground
Then fire lit the river a sea of emerald flame
I won a knightly title and a Blackwater name
But fortune is a fickle thing it turns just like the tide
He stood accused of murder forsaken far and wide
He looked at me to save him from a mountain of a man
But Tywin gave the better offer and I chose my own plan
Oh I dont believe in kingdoms and I dont believe in gods
I just believe in knowing how to calculate the odds
A lord will make a promise a king will make a vow
But a castle and a title well Ill take that here and now
So here I sit in my own hall the master of the keep
While all the vows of friendship are buried down so deep
Some may call me faithless some may call me wrong
But I have my castle and I stand strong !
