Sean Bean has finally revealed what Ned Stark was saying when the executioner’s sword came down upon his neck in the first season of Game of Thrones, breaking, nay shattering, hearts around the world.

Ned was the guy we all wanted to be.

And when he was killed it just wasn’t.right.

Anyway, now we’ve calmed ourselves down Sean Bean has revealed just what Ned was muttering in those few milliseconds we saw his face before he was beheaded.

Yeah we reckon this caption is pretty off

According to the New York Post, Sean revealed Ned was simply ‘saying a prayer.’

IS THAT IT?!

We’ve been waiting since season one to find out our beloved Ned was just saying a prayer?!

‘It appears that way, doesn’t it?’Sean said. ‘I couldn’t be too specific, because I don’t know if religion [like that] was around in those days, whatever they were. I just thought, “What would you do if this were really gonna happen?” You probably would pray. You probably would murmur some words and you’d keep it quiet. You’d keep it to yourself.’

We were really hoping for a ‘FUCK YOU JOFFREY’.

‘It’s quite subtle in that many people wouldn’t pick it up,’ he added. ‘It was an interesting thing to do for me at that point. There’s not much you can do really, you’ve got your head on a block. That’s about the only thing you can do is murmur.’

Well there you have it. The last and fateful words from Eddard Stark, warden of the north was murmuring.

This is why we have trust issues.
