FILK - A DIRGE FOR SHIREEN

Every time a Baratheon dies, the world loses a touch of badassery.
And, if it happens to be a Baratheon child, the world loses half its badassery.
This filk shall be the requiem of a sacrificed princess...

A DIRGE FOR SHIREEN

Melody: God Save the Queen/Heil Dir im Siegerkranz

Farewell, Princess Shireen...
We knew you not, Shireen...
Farewell, Shireen!
Brought to the Lord of Light
to end her parents' plight,
rest for the longest night,
Princess Shireen!

Princess of Dragonstone,
cheerful though oft alone,
dearest Shireen!
Seared by the painful flame
for a religious aim,
we'll always think of your name,
Princess Shireen!

Youngest Baratheon,
hopeful to carry on,
clever Shireen!
Victim of sacred ire,
offered to God and fire,
you'll still our hearts inspire...
Farewell, Shireen!

Victim of sacred ire,
offered to God and fire,
you'll still our hearts inspire...
Farewell, Shireen!
