Littlefinger: The realm, do you know what the realm is? It's the thousand blades of Aegon's enemies A story we agreed to tell each other over and over 'Til we forget that it's a lie Varys: But what do we have left once we abandon the lie? Chaos, a gaping pit waiting to swallow us all Littlefinger: Chaos isn't a pit, chaos is a ladder The rain came upon us, we played the corners Like Richard Sherman the best, I'm still learning Scriptures turn to pages, pictures burn in rages Outrageous, the big world, the stage is set Threats coming from different ages Death is ageless, life is dangerous Change is the only thing guaranteed I ain't afraid of the opps cause I know they bleed just like us In the Seven Kingdoms ain't nobody righteous A massacre at the Red Wedding, the lifeless Laid on the ground, now who wears the crown? A rope tied around by the power we bound Sound the trumpets, I got soldiers by the hundreds We all want it with our eyes on the summit Chaos is a ladder and some fall from it Some get tall from it, high like they all blunted But this the year that we doing it with no fears God in both ears saying "be sincere" Some are laughing, some of 'em be in tears If this the end let the games begin I think about it when I'm in my zone This life is like a game of thrones I sit and think when I'm in my zone This life is like a game of thrones
