The Lord of Castamere

Transcript

"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.
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,
and not a soul to hear.

The song is a retelling of a conversation between the Duke of Castamere and the Duke of Karhaven after the former refused to pay his debt to the later, believing him to be weak and empty of threat as is father was. The Duke of Karhaven waged war on Castamere and seized the city of Veremere and the entire area north of the Roxmore, leaving the duke of Castamere stranded alone in his castle on the other side of the river, looking at his former territory in shame. In the song, while the Duke of Karhaven is still a lord prior to the war, the Duke of Castamere is also depicted as a Lord, a lower rank of nobility and an insult to his name.
