Into the Arcane
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) Honour is dead but I'll see what I can do Let the high storm rage Unbending, unyielding I'll lead us into the storm (Arising, defiant) Follow me into the the storm Unbending, unyielding In storm light see me reborn (Arising, in storm light) 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) Honour is dead but I'll see what I can do Let the high storm 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 Whoa-oh-oh-oh The sky is mine, the winds are my domain The radiants' vision lives on (Vision lives on) Honour 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

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 thе dawn of better days They say thе 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

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 brеath we steal Even kings of kings Must kneel Look on my works Yе 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

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 еnds The path ahead The spicе 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

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 (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

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 bе forced to bleed?" No answer back Just storm winds blowing cold Just dark and twisting clouds Like grеat 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 (Left with no choice I take it in) From the true source I seize Saidin In raging torrents coursing wild (In raging torrents coursing wild) Inside I feel the power A storm of light inside these veins (A storm of light inside these veins) The endless tempest I've embraced Enough to bring down earth and sky (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
