Lyrics

Verse 1

Salt spray stings

He sailed back home to Pyke

Demanding a fleet from his father

Iron price paid in blood and iron pride

The boy from Winterfell forgot his place

Burned the letters

Took the keep

Turned on brothers while they slept

He thought he was a kraken in the snow

Chorus

He had no name

He had no home

Only the smell of the kennel

Only the dread of the flay

Mercy is a lie

Ramsay is the lord

He had no name

He had no home

Verse 2

The Bastard came

Stripped him of his skin

Slowly removing every piece of who he was

Broken on the rack

Hungry for a scrap of pork

Crawling through the mud and filth

He lost a finger

He lost a toe

He lost the part that made him a man

The Ironborn prince became a dog

Chorus

He had no name

He had no home

Only the smell of the kennel

Only the dread of the flay

Mercy is a lie

Ramsay is the lord

He had no name

He had no home

Bridge

It rhymes with leek

It rhymes with weak

It rhymes with freak

Reek

Reek

My name is Reek

Please don't hurt me

I remember nothing

I am just a beast

Verse 3

The North remembers

The Greyjoys turned their back

A servant with a vacant stare and trembling hands

Shaking when the horn blows

Waiting for the master to strike

He looks in the water

Sees a face he does not know

White hair and missing teeth

The boy is gone forever

Chorus

He had no name

He had no home

Only the smell of the kennel

Only the dread of the flay

Mercy is a lie

Ramsay is the lord

He had no name

He had no home

Outro

Reek

Reek

Always Reek

Fetch the plate

Hide in the straw

Never look him in the eye

Reek
