The Song Of The Seven

Karliene's 'The Song Of The Seven' is a poetic homage to the seven deities from the lore of 'A Song of Ice and Fire' by George R.R. Martin. Each verse of the song is dedicated to one of the seven gods, highlighting their unique roles and attributes. The song begins with the Father, who represents justice and authority, weighing the deeds of mortals and showing a particular fondness for children. This sets the tone for the song, emphasizing the protective and nurturing aspects of these divine figures.

The Mother follows, embodying life and compassion. She is depicted as a nurturing figure who watches over families and brings peace with her gentle smile. The Warrior is then introduced, symbolizing strength and protection. He stands as a guardian against all threats, ensuring the safety of the innocent. The Crone, wise and ancient, guides with her knowledge and foresight, illuminating the path for the young and vulnerable.

The Smith represents hard work and creation, tirelessly laboring to improve the world for future generations. The Maiden, a symbol of beauty and love, inspires joy and dreams, particularly among the young. The song concludes with a collective invocation of the seven gods, reassuring the listener that these divine beings are always watching over them. The recurring mention of 'little children' throughout the song underscores the theme of protection and care, suggesting that the gods' primary concern is the well-being of the innocent and pure.

Karliene's musical style, often characterized by its ethereal and haunting melodies, perfectly complements the mystical and reverent tone of the lyrics. Her rendition of 'The Song Of The Seven' serves as both a tribute to the rich mythology of 'A Song of Ice and Fire' and a comforting reminder of the protective presence of these divine figures.
