Common - The Ladder lyrics

rate me

(Intro: Game of Thrones)

Littlefinger: The realm, do you know what the realm is?

It's the thousand blades of Aegon's enemies

A story we agreed to tell each other over and over

'Til we forget that it's a lie

Varys: But what do we have left once we abandon the lie?

Chaos, a gaping pit waiting to swallow us all

Littlefinger: Chaos isn't a pit, chaos is a ladder

(Verse)

The rain came upon us, we played the corners

Like Richard Sherman the best, I'm still learning

Scriptures turn to pages, pictures burn in rages

Outrageous, the big world, the stage is set

Threats coming from different ages

Death is ageless, life is dangerous

Change is the only thing guaranteed

I ain't afraid of the opps cause I know they bleed just like us

In the Seven Kingdoms ain't nobody righteous

A massacre at the Red Wedding, the lifeless

Laid on the ground, now who wears the crown?

A rope tied around by the power we bound

Sound the trumpets, I got soldiers by the hundreds

We all want it with our eyes on the summit

Chaos is a ladder and some fall from it

Some get tall from it, high like they all blunted

But this the year that we doing it with no fears

God in both ears saying "be sincere"

Some are laughing, some of 'em be in tears

If this the end let the games begin here

(Hook x2)

I think about it when I'm in my zone

This life is like a game of thrones

I sit and think when I'm in my zone

This life is like a game of thrones

(Outro)

Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder.

Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again

The fall breaks them

And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse

They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love

Illusions. Only the ladder is real

The climb is all there is
