The Rains of Castamere

by Arcandia

/
1.
And who are you, the proud lord said, That I must bow so low? Only a cat of a different coat, That's all the truth I know. In a coat of gold or a coat of red, A lion still has claws, And mine are long and sharp, my lord, As long and sharp as yours. And so he spoke, and so he spoke, That lord of Castamere, But now the rains weep o'er his hall, With no one there to hear.

About this song: “The Rains of Castamere” details the Reyne Rebellion against Lord Tytos Lannister and the eventual extinction of their House. After Lord Roger Reyne decided to test the Lannister’s claim to the Westerlands in open rebellion, Tytos' son Tywin Lannister crushed the rebellion and put an end to the entire lineage of the rebel Houses.
Because of this, the song is viewed as a constant reminder of the threat that a Tywin-led House Lannister poses to their enemies, making it a House favorite to play at Lannister events like weddings. Cersei Lannister reminds Margaery Tyrell what it means here.
