HBO has released the official lyric video of "Jenny of Oldstones" by Florence + The Machine, the haunting song which premiered during the closing credits of the second episode of Game of Thrones Season 8.

A short verse of it was sung by Podrick Payne earlier during the episode featuring a montage of Arya and Gendry, Sansa and Theon, Sam and Gilly, Missandei and Grey Worm, and Jon and Daenerys.

It's a foreboding choice of song because according to Westerosi folklore and from the A Song of Ice and Fire books, "Jenny of Oldstones" is a sad tale of a prince having to choose between true love and the Iron Throne which leads to lots of bloodshed.
