WINTER OF ICE AND IRON theme song

WINTER OF ICE AND IRON theme song

I have been listening to the second CD from Two Steps From Hell’s “Battlecry” for . . . oh . . . about three weeks straight now. I just hit repeat and walk away. Wonderful CD. Everything from Two Steps From Hell is wonderful.

But it occurred to me the other day that “Battlebourne,” the first song on the second CD, is actually the theme song for WINTER OF ICE AND IRON. Oh, sure, there are plot points that differ. Still.

Here it is if you would like to listen to it. Warning: you may very well go on a TSfH binge and buy everything they’ve ever produced. But since there is nothing better than TSfH albums as background while writing epic fantasy, hey, maybe that’s okay!

“Battlebourne”

Oh

There is fire in the air that I am breathing

There is blood where the battles rage

These are faces I will not remember

Will I fight for the queen or the slave?

A treacherous part

To play with a heart of courage

Where the wind from the north bodes the dragon

And the armies and legions have formed

We have camp for the night, food and cover

Fading ghosts in the shadows of war

Gone

All the villagers led out to pasture

The black wing of death as their liege

Felt the ground, it was bare from the plunder

Soldiers that lie at my feet

The maidens were lost

Wading across an ocean

On a ship heading south to the mainland

I am standing in wake of the storm

I was raised by the wolf and the stallion

This sword was battleborne
