Verse 1: You best believe, when the Lannisters arrive They bring the pain, ain't no place to hide They got the power, they got the gold Their enemies tremble, this story's told Chorus: The rains of Castamere, they fall so hard Bringing death and destruction, just like a playing card You cross the Lannisters, you best beware Or you'll feel the wrath, of the rains of Castamere Verse 2: Tywin Lannister, he's the man in charge He takes no prisoners, and he's always at large He's got a fierce army, and a will of steel Cross him once, and you know the deal Chorus: The rains of Castamere, they fall so hard Bringing death and destruction, just like a playing card You cross the Lannisters, you best beware Or you'll feel the wrath, of the rains of Castamere Verse 3: Tyrion Lannister, he's the black sheep But he's got brains, and a tongue so sweet He's always scheming, and he's always winning Cross him at your peril, he ain't forgiving Chorus: The rains of Castamere, they fall so hard Bringing death and destruction, just like a playing card You cross the Lannisters, you best beware Or you'll feel the wrath, of the rains of Castamere.
