Winter Is Coming
AVbyte Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

will i survive this season
will this be my good bye
is there no rhyme or reason
for who gets to live or die

will i survive this season
reap all that i have sown
who will survive the game of thrones

i dream of ruling all the land
all seven kingdoms, hand in hand
no one can stand in my way

sadly, but true it seems to me
everyone hates our family
can't we instead, kill the freys

winter is coming
round the bend
summer is over
is this the end

will i survive

who knows

you know nothing, jon snow.

will i survive this season
or will i meet my end

how do i know my foes from
the people who call me friend?

will i survive the season
reap all that i have sown

who will survive the game of thrones

no one is safe in westeros
every decision's dangerous
new foes arise, in the north
in the east

whispers and secrets all around
everyone fighting for the crown
all while pretending there's peace

winter is coming
round the bend
summer is over
is this the end





all men must die
will i survive
