Karliene - The Song of the Seven

I'm so happy to be able to present to you guys a new GOT song, I've been wanting to do a really good version of this for a while but never found the time. In a way, I'm kinda glad I'm releasing it now to coincide with the new season.
**** Please note before commenting, I've had an awful lot of people complaining that I've "forgotten" the Stranger. There is no verse for the stranger in the original text, George never wrote one. As Sam said, "The stranger has no songs"

The Song of the Seven
Written by George R.R. Martin

-- | LYRICS |--

The Father's face is stern and strong,
he sits and judges right from wrong.
He weighs our lives, the short and long,
and loves the little children

The Mother gives the gift of life,
and watches over every wife.
Her gentle smile ends all strife,
and she loves her little children

The Warrior stands before the foe,
protecting us where e'er we go.
With sword and shield and spear and bow,
he guards the little children.

The Crone is very wise and old,
and sees our fates as they unfold.
She lifts her lamp of shining gold
to lead the little children.

The Smith, he labors day and night,
to put the world of men to right.
With hammer, plow, and fire bright,
he builds for little children.

The Maiden dances through the sky,
she lives in every lover's sigh.
Her smiles teach the birds to fly,
and gives dreams to little children.

The Seven Gods who made us all,
are listening if we should call.
So close your eyes, you shall not fall,
they see you, little children.

Just close your eyes, you shall not fall,
they see you, little children.

[MockingBirdGotU]

The stranger walks without a face,
He takes all life, yet leaves no trace,
Whose shrouded hands, they all embrace,
Brings peace to little children.

[blackbird]

The stranger lies in the unknown,
His grasp is true, his face is stone,
He comes for all, from street to throne,
He shepherds all the children

[quinnlee-newbury]

"She lives in every lover's sigh" is just so beautiful. Such a lovely way to think of a Goddess of love

[MrDrSarcasm]

"The Stranger is the one unknown
He wears a cloak with face unshown
He watches us from birth to bone
He waits for little children"

My version of what the stranger's verse might have been.

[pokoirlyase]

I love that there is no song for the stranger ... The God to whom no one prays but whose hand reaches all of men

[Naervon]

The Stranger's last to come to mind
Sometimes cruel and sometimes kind
His justice truly judges blind
He embraces all little children

[Haloangel]

The Stranger's face remains unknown.
He waits for all from slave to throne.
He's with us until we're all bone.
He guides home little children.

[GigglesWithAKnife]

I love how everyone keeps putting their own verse for the stranger and all but it's absolutely perfect that the stranger is not mentioned because nobody prays to The Stranger.

[Freerunner-uqmm]

'The Stranger never sheds their tears
As they wait and watch and count our years
Their cold embrace will end all fears
So weep not little children'

My interpretation of the Stranger's verse.

[ichbifeuertrunk]

The Stranger's face is blank and bare,
He grants no boon, he heeds no prayer,
Behold his power and despair,
For he spares not little children.

[DoraG]

I'm loving all the verses people are writing for the Stranger! So clever, and they all fit!

[shaunablack]

I love how there's not supposed to be a song for The Stranger but everyone makes a verse for The Stranger and it's great

[Samaru]

The Stranger is the one unknown
With face unseen, and eyes of bones
Until their likeness etched in stone
It watches little children.

[NeverwintersKnight]

The Stranger stands behind them all
with face shrouded from us all
waits for us both great and small
and takes the little children

[ahmedsheta]

“Just close your eyes, you shall not fall, they see you, little children”
OMG I’m in love with this line. It shows how much faith these people have towards their gods and they shall not worry even when eyes are closed, cause they are their children.

[Sinewmire]

Melisandre: "You’ve been to the other side."
Beric Dondarrion: "The other side? There is no other side. I have been to the darkness, my lady"

[dextercochran]

The Stranger is both foe and friend
And waits for us at journey's end
The hour isn't known but may be bent
Be ready little children

[MyAnanin]

The stranger passes without trace
with silent step and hidden face
to take us to a better place
So fear not little children

[martythetickler]

The Father's face is stern and strong,
he sits and judges right from wrong.
He weighs our lives, the short and long,
and loves the little children

The Mother gives the gift of life,
and watches over every wife.
Her gentle smile ends all strife,
and she loves her little children

The Warrior stands before the foe,
protecting us where e'er we go.
With sword and shield and spear and bow,
he guards the little children.

The Crone is very wise and old,
and sees our fates as they unfold.
She lifts her lamp of shining gold
to lead the little children.

The Smith, he labors day and night,
to put the world of men to right.
With hammer, plow, and fire bright,
he builds for little children.

The Maiden dances through the sky,
she lives in every lover's sigh.
Her smiles teach the birds to fly,
and gives dreams to little children.

The Stranger is the one unknown
Who watches us from birth to bone
Until their likeness etched in stone
And waits for little children.

The Seven Gods who made us all,
are listening if we should call.
So close your eyes, you shall not fall,
they see you, little children.

Just close your eyes, you shall not fall,
they see you, little children.

[DuelKingYami]

I don’t know why, but hearing that the Father who represents judgement still loves the little children makes me feel glad
