Born a defender
Turned healer
Turned soldier
Sworn to one purpose
Like father before
From spears to shackles
Betrayed but not broken
Thrown to the storm's judgment
Came out reborn
The sky is mine
The winds are my domain
The radiants' vision lives on
(Vision lives on)
Honor is dead
But I'll see what I can do
Let the highstorm rage
Unbending
Unyielding
I'll lead us into the storm
(Arising)
(Defiant)
(Follow me)
Into the the storm
Unbending
Unyielding
In stormlight see me reborn
(Arising)
(In stormlight)
See me reborn
Learned to stand taller
Embracing the calling
So long as it's right
Guard each life as my own
Life before death
Strength before weakness
Journey before destination
My oath
The sky is mine
The winds are my domain
The radiants' vision lives on
(Vision lives on)
Honor is dead
But I'll see what I can do
Let the highstorm rage
Unbending
Unyielding
I'll lead us into the storm
(Arising)
(Defiant)
(Follow me)
Into the the storm
Unbending
Unyielding
In stormlight see me reborn
(Arising)
(In stormlight)
See me reborn
I'll be your shield
When steel bends and shatters
I'll hold the line
In the darkest of times
Stormlight shine down
Radiant, valiant
We'll face the end side by side
We'll turn back the tide
Turn back the tide
The sky is mine
The winds are my domain
The radiants' vision lives on
(Vision lives on)
Honor is dead but I'll see what I can do
I'll bring the calm
When the storm comes
For us all in the end

Winds Wept
04:17
|
|||
They're calling for rebellion
Their banners on the wind
But everything this country stands for
Dies, whoever wins
Two armies primed for battle
Two faces of one lie
But what if we can face them both
And choose a different side
Be the wind that stirs the tempest
Bring them crashing down
Let the people
Build a better world upon this ground
The will to face the burden
I know you feel it burning bright
Embrace
The dawn of better days
They say the winds are changing
Stand up and hear them raging on
A requiem for kings
For countless generations
The people beaten down
Yet still they fight and die over
Which tyrant wears the crown
What if we give them something
They've never known before
A land of their own making
From the mountains to the shore
Be the wind that stirs the tempest
Bring them crashing down
Let the people
Build a better world upon this ground
The will to face the burden
I know you feel it burning bright
Embrace
The dawn of better days
They say the winds are changing
Stand up and hear them raging on
A requiem for kings
The will to face the burden
I know you feel it burning bright
Embrace
The dawn of better days
They say the winds are changing
Stand up and hear them raging on
A requiem for kings
They sing today

Out here is where I reign
Light years away from fame
But on a thousand worlds they know my name
They'll tell you I'm insane
The master of a trade
That separates the fearless from the slain
No odds that I can't stack
First and last to attack
Been to the point of no return and back
A soldier with no flag
No law but the contract
All just to keep the balance in the black
I'm cashing in the bounty
On your life
At the speed of light you'll never
See me strike
Freelancer
Thrill seeker
Everything's at stake
And the world's for the taking
The master
Death dealer
The price on your head I aim
I aim to collect
Out here I stake my claim
This infinite domain
Pray that you never have to know my name
A path to easy gain
Or to an early grave
It's just the price we pay to
Play the game
I'm cashing in the bounty on your life
(The bounty)
(On your life)
(The bounty)
(On your life)
At the speed of light you'll never
See me strike

There's price on your head and I aim

To Sheathe the Blade
06:16
|
|||
Crownless a king
Death in his eyes
Into the slaughter a single man rides
One battle left
All on the line
Here at the end under darkening skies
Arrows aflame
Bright as they fly
Blazing a trail through the enemy lines
Out of the fray
Drawing his blade
Facing the man he's sworn to slay
One final lesson to apply
Death is a feather
When it's time to sheathe the blade
Once more the golden crane will fly
Duty a mountain
Time to face it unafraid
Will against will
Ancient blades clash
Steel meeting steel in a fast, frantic dance
Each perfect step
For this he trained
Scars from a lifetime becoming the blade
Bleeding and bruised
Breath running thin
Outclassed and tired but he's not here to win
One final act
Risking it all
Two blows and both of them shall fall
One final lesson to apply
Death is a feather
When it's time to sheathe the blade
Once more the golden crane will fly
Duty a mountain
Time to face it unafraid
As the third age winds down
On the last battleground
Down where two bodies lie
One of them starts to rise
Inches from death but still
Breathing by force of will
Crownless a king he stands
Over a battered land
One more forsaken slain
Once more the golden crane
Flies on a rising wind
To be reborn again
Out of the darkest days
Promise of a coming dawn
Ready to wear the crown
Of a kingdom once thought gone
Clouds breaking overhead
To reveal the ancient sign
A symbol of light yet to shine
One final lesson to apply
Death is a feather
When it's time to sheathe the blade
Once more the golden crane will fly
Duty a mountain, time to face it unafraid
One final lesson to apply
Death is a feather
When it's time to sheathe the blade
Once more the golden crane will fly
Duty a mountain, time to face it unafraid

King of Kings

Look on my works
Ye mighty and despair
Let no man question
The glory that stood here
Nations fell
Once before my hand
Thousands bowed
Once to my command
Now all that's left
To tell the tale
Is broken ruins in the sand
Time's not long
The end will come
Burned away!
In new day's sun
Just hope some fraction carries on
In one more tale
In one more song
Time is the wound we cannot heal
Despite every single breath we steal
Even kings of kings
Must kneel
Look on my works
Ye mighty and despair
Just words in stone
And desert stretching bare
From bones of ancient kingdoms past
To seconds slipping through your grasp
They fade the same with every day
So live each moment like your last
The stone erodes
The skin decays
And only the memory remains
Burned away!
In new day's sun
Just hope some fraction carries on
In one more tale
In one more song
Time is the wound we cannot heal
Despite every single breath we steal
Even kings of kings
Must kneel
Burned away!
In new day's sun
Just hope some fraction carries on
In one more tale
In one more song
Time is the wound we cannot heal
Despite every single breath we steal
Even kings of kings
Must kneel
Even kings of kings
Must kneel

The Golden Path
04:22
|

They're calling me a savior
Who saw the dessert tamed
The one who broke the tyrant
The birth of a new age
But it's my name they'll call out
In holy wars to come
The blood they'll shed in my name
Can't stop what's already begun
The schemes of endless years
Wheels moving within wheels
These blue eyes see it clear
And through the twisting threads
Each way the future bends
I've seen the coming ends
The path ahead
The spice will flow
The old ways die
I am the changing
Of the tide
I bring you upheaval
I bring death
But I'll bring you
The golden path
Of all the countless futures
That pass before my eyes
I've witnessed only one path
Where humankind survives
So let me be the monster
I am the only one
The lesson through the ages
Of what we must never become
The schemes of endless years
Wheels moving within wheels
These blue eyes see it clear
And through the twisting threads
Each way the future bends
I've seen the coming ends
The path ahead
The spice will flow
The old ways die
A new imperium
Will rise
I bring you oppression
I bring death
But I'll bring you
The golden path
The spice will flow
The old ways die
The only choice
For humankind
I bring the future
I bring death
But I'll bring you
The golden path
The spice will flow
The old ways die
A plan to echo
Through all time
Make no confusion
I bring death
But I'll bring you
The golden path

Twisted Red Doorframe
03:54
|
|||
A faded cover with a broken spine
And a world inside
You could say that I've lived a thousand lives
And one more if there's time
The journey's hard but I've come so far
Over misty mountain peaks
For the name of the wind or the name of a land
My lips alone can speak
Let me take the black when the Others come
Raise my shardblade against Odium
Let me walk the paths only heroes dare
Come and take me there
Between platforms 9 and 10
The three-eyed raven calls my name
Through the old wardrobe and then
Beyond the twisted red doorframe
And with the turn of just one page
A world away from the mundane
Show me visions of a future past
Through the looking glass
Let me hear the prophecy foretold
Before gods new and old
To the sound of lyres braving dragon's fire
Journeyed without end
Fought the dark lord's hate, rolled the dice with fate
Been there and back again
Let me take the black when the Others come
Raise my shardblade against Odium
Let me walk the paths only heroes dare
Come and take me there
Between platforms 9 and 10
The three-eyed raven calls my name
Through the old wardrobe and then
Beyond the twisted red doorframe
And with the turn of just one page
A world away from the mundane
Let me stake my claim on the the ruby throne
Keep the ruby slippers, this is home
Let the ages pass and a new age come
As the road goes ever on and on
Between platforms 9 and 10
The three-eyed raven calls my name
Through the old wardrobe and then
Beyond the twisted red doorframe
And with the turn of just one page
A world away from the mundane
And with the turn of just one page
My pathway into the arcane

Veins of Gold
09:28

So hard
It's getting hard to breathe
Pushed so close to breaking
Under the weight of destiny
Why wasn't it enough
To fall and learn to rise
To forge myself anew
A little harder every time
Have I prepared myself for death
Just to relive it all again
When
Oh when will it end
So what is destiny's demand
A burning sword or a sheltering hand
A sacrifice to save a land
Why must this all fall on one man
Shouting to the sky
From this high mountain peak
A dying world below
How much will they be forced to bleed
No answer back
Just storm winds blowing cold
Just dark and twisting clouds
Like great leviathans of old
And if this is the fate of life
To fight and die again and fade to time
Why even try
So what is destiny's demand
A burning sword or a sheltering hand
A sacrifice to save a land
Why must this all fall on one man?
Left with no choice I take it in
From the true source I seize Saidin
In raging torrents coursing wild
Inside I feel the power
A storm of light inside these veins
The endless tempest I've embraced
Enough to bring down earth and sky
Enough to bring an ending
Let the power flow
Stronger than I've ever felt before
We don't have to struggle anymore
Burning bright
I am the cleansing light
They named me dragon, now I bring the fire
Burning bright
The only end in sight
The dragon is reborn for the last time
Another battle
One more age
Trapped in the cycle
No escaping
So weaves the wheel forever on
Our endless fate unless I break it
The only way to bring an end
And spare us from this fate again
No light, no shadow, nothing more
The peace of a final silence
If we can't be saved
I can bring the mercy of the grave
If that's what it takes to end the pain
Burning bright
I am the cleansing light
They named me dragon
Now I bring the fire
Burning bright
The only end in sight
The dragon is reborn for the last time
So is this destiny's demand
Both burning sword and sheltering hand
The power to unmake a land
Ready to end it, but I can't
A voice inside that I can't quell
From a past life with truth to tell
What if we're here to try again
To strive on and make it better
Each time the burden ours to bear
Yet each time love and laughter shared
How could I be so lost to think
That the price is not worth paying
If they stand on strong
Who am I to tell them they are wrong
For them and beside them I'll fight on
Burning bright
I'm the redeeming light
I finally cleared the shadow
From my mind
In these hands
I hold a second chance
May the dragon ride again
On winds of time
May the dragon ride again
On winds of time
