Cast out from the lands of their births Banished from hearth and home All brothers must swear the oath Forsaking all they've ever known Those who choose to take the black Bid farewell to comforts great and small Those who do, don't come back Prepare yourself for life on the Wall
Night gathers and the watch begins The wind carries an unnatural chill There are things beyond the northern borders Mere steel can't k** Men who choose to take the black Rogues and rangers, one and all Those who do, won't come back Prepare yourself for life on the Wall
