"An ill-made creature"that’s what they say
I sharpened my mind to keep the wolves at bay
A sword needs a whetstone a mind needs a book
I saw the truth where others wouldn't look
I stood for the realm while they played their game
But a dwarf is guilty just by his name
They see a monster They see a monster
Oh I am the Half man standing tall!
Casting the biggest shadow on the wall!
I drink and I know things that is my trade
Trying to fix the mess the high lords made!
Not a monster just a man denied
With a lion’s roar buried deep inside!
I saved the city with green fire and brain
Then broke my own heart to save Shae from pain
"You are a whore"the cruel words I spoke
To push her away before the storm broke
But she returned to the witness stand
And placed my life in my father's hand
Now I stand on trial for all to see
I’m guilty of being a dwarf that’s my plea
I've been on trial for it all of my life
Betrayed by father by brother by wife
I did not kill the King but I wish that I had!
I wish I was the monster you think I am!
I wish I had poison for the whole damn clan!
I wanted justice!I wanted to break the chains!
Now I'm watching the ashes fall down on the plains!
I crossed the sea for a Queen and a dream
But bells rang for blood or so it would seem
Ashes are falling on the Iron Throne
Jamie is gone and I stand alone
The only one who didn't see a monster is gone
