(verse 1)

Who was he, the man I was to be?

No lion of the rock, was ever cast like me

Vows profess, as seven oils bless,

The devil he may care, but I couldn’t less

(bridge 1)

And so an oath is shattered by the madness of a king

And I’m stained by my finest act, while ice and fire sing

(chorus)

Oathbreaker… Kingslayer…

(verse 2)

No more lies, nothing to disguise

The she-wolf came with questions, burning in her eyes

Against my core, to her an oath I swore

Though as I rose, my bucket spilled my honor on the floor

(bridge 2)

And so to mend was once was cleaved I felt the bitter sting

And I clench this phantom fist of mine, while ice and fire sing

(spoken)

"So many vows they make you swear. Defend the king and keep his secrets. But honor thy father and defend the weak. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or the other.”

~ Tim Krikorian piano concerto no.1 in Db ~

(spoken)

"There are no men like me… there’s only me."

(verse 3)

All men die, the Stranger doesn’t lie

But what will they remember, when I’ve spent my final sigh

Dark wings above, the raven or the dove

Forever sullied by the stains, of things I did for love

(chorus x4)

Vow Taker… Kingslayer…

Forsaker… Kingslayer…

Wroth Waker… Kingslayer…

Oathbreaker… Kingslayer…
