Musings of Tyrion Lannister

Witty things are often said

About a man once he is dead

His actions great or small

Are like echoes in a hall

What was, will be again

Such is the story of all men

A cycle never ending

Of fates never mending

Perhaps this game we all play

Will end abruptly one fine day

And we will finally see

We are puppets, never free

The young queen sits on the throne

Ruling an uneasy realm she calls her own

The loyal bear guards her side

In him all things does she confide

I sit here with my wine

Nothing more do I call mine

I am at peace with my small lot

I've lived through all the battles that I fought

I've played the game, I want no more

I wait for the quieter things in store

Wine, books, and a house by the sea

Are all that matter now to me
