Talia's Song Lyrics.
I was so moved by this song.
From ice, from ice, we Forresters born,
To ice we all return.
Father, brother, I've sworn, I've sworn,
To guard this rest you've earned.
May kings and queens melt down their crowns.
A pyre on Aegon's hill.
In floods of gold, I pray they drown,
For all the blood they spilled.
Mance, sound the horn of winters past
Call starving giants forth.
Urge cannibals to break their fast,
On wardens of the North.
Eastern mages empty the veins,
Of beasts across the sea.
Paint Slaver's Bay in crimson rains,
To bring Ethan back to me.
Snow grabbed me from my mother's grasp,
To claim me as his prize.
Ethan freed me from Ramsay's clasp.
The rival lords locked eyes.
The rival lords locked eyes!
Fight on, fight on, Ethan the Brave,
Old gods bear steel with you.
Our lord, my twin, a hero's grave.
So iron grows anew.
Still iron grows anew.

Glad you liked it. :-)
The third stanza is actually "Mance, sound the horn of winters past" as in "Mance Rayder should use the Horn of Joramun to summon giants from the ground to eat the Boltons." Talia's got a vengeful streak.
Ahh right
, thanks!
I love the version if you're Ethan the Wise.
Watch on! Watch on!

I remember the song being a little different in my playthrough. Maybe I misheard it
It does slightly change according to your choices
It's funny, she asked Ethan to promise not to change. Now she's changing.
Woah! That's awesome! How many versions are there?
Nope! There are different versions of the song based on your choices. Also the lyrics OP posted are the ones from the credits rather than the shorter in-game version.
The song I got had a line about 'Bearing my neck for Ser Ilyn' or something along those lines, which I thought was a nice shout out to Ned.
This made me tear up a bit, actually. You could feel Talia´s emotion through that. Wonderfully done.
Life is a bitch, isn't it?
I got chills first hearing that song.
Anyone knows where I can read the full lyrics, with all the optional stuff?
Talia's gettin' kinda creepy there in the third stanza. I never actually paid attention to but a few of the lyrics till now.
Talia gets pretty damn dark in that song.....
2nd verse she's hoping they drown in motlon gld
3rd verse shes hoping mance blows the horn and giants crush the enemies and canniabls eat them
4th verse shes saying she would perform any kind of dark blood magic so ehtan would come back
Also how exactly does Talia know all these things? I know books could have 2 in it but 4 is in essos and 3rd is impossible mance isnt in history books
Being a proper lady educated in a castle, Talia's well-read and has heard a lot of tales. Mance Rayder is known throughout the north as a legendary traitor to the Night's Watch. The following passage is from the very first page of the first book:
"The man had been taken outside a small holdfast in the hills. Robb thought he was a wildling, his sword sworn to Mance Rayder, the King-beyond-the-Wall. It made Bran's skin prickle to think of it."
And bloodmagic is something people are aware of in Westeros. People tell stories about the Dothraki and Qartheen. Some Westorosi have an orientalist streak. There are even rumors of bloodmagic happening in the North. The World of Ice and Fire confirms that blood sacrifices to the weirwood trees were common prior to Aegon's conquest.
She doesn't realize that change is necessary and good because she hasn't grown up yet.
She asked him not to change not because she doesn't understand the necessity of change but because if he had lived longer they probably would have grown apart. I think she just wanted to delay the inevitable. Most of us do at some point or another.
This is such a great song. What's up with the second episodes of TellTale Games' games having great songs? Walking Dead Season Two had the amazing In the Pines as well.
I'm hoping we get a free download for this one too.
Yes, Telltale, this would be amazing ! I'd totally download it.
im glad you are sticking around to answer everyone's questions
this song hit me so hard... please telltale MORE!!!!!!!!
its on youtube!
Man I was like: Ok, Rains of Castamere, you were symbolic. This one is pure awesomeness.
Sure. But I would MUCH prefer an official release for many reasons.
^ What he said.
Im glad you dropped some insight on the project. It is much appreciated, and i thank you for it.
This is the second scene Telltale has made thats made me shed a tear. Her song was just so majestic, I wouldn't be able to live without my little brother. The scene was just beautiful
Four versions of the lyrics/music. Also some of the visuals change slightly based on what your choices were in this episode. For example Gared may or may not have a nasty black eye.
Urging the Cannibals to eat the Boltons. Not that I blame her but Tallia is slowly snapping. She's going to kill someone by the end of the series even if it's herself.
