We used to be nomads, we travelled the land
Watching our herd with fur cap in hand
Our nights they were starless, we slept in the caves
Away from the sky
But in sight of the waves
But soldiers they came with short sword and shield
Cutting us down in the dust, in the field
Those who were left were sent riding forth
Towards rain, towards rock
To watch over the North
The Empire it crumbles
And we freeze in the rain
These mountains, these rivers will always remain
Now we are leaving with hopes to be free
South-East to our homes
The warmth and the sea
The sea
Oh, the sea
Oh, the sea
The sea
The sea
Oh, the sea
Oh, the sea
Upon rock and with rock we built our new homes
Four hundred leagues, left our families alone
We've garrisoned the mountain, we've garrisoned the cold
We think how our wives and our children grow old
We came here with horses five hundred strong
South of the wall the journey was long
In heather and bracken we've looked to the pass
Winter is coming
And we are the last
The Empire it crumbles
And we freeze in the rain
These mountains, these rivers will always remain
Now we are leaving with hopes to be free
South-East to our homes
The warmth and the sea
The sea
Oh, the sea
Oh, the sea
The sea
The sea
Oh, the sea
Oh, the sea
