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
