The Wheel Weaves

The wheel weaves as the wheel wills
From the waking to the dream where the shadow spills
To the breaking and the seams ripped, cold chill
Tear in the pattern bring the turning to a standstill
Fulfill-- destinies that turn to legend
And legend fade to myth before a new age beckoned
Even myth die away before the end of the second
Gave way to third, lines blurred and threatened
It's-- de ja vue or vu ja de
All happened before, but not quite this way
It's a retelling of a scene on replay
Threads of life caught up in ta'veren sway
Entropy echoes extra eerie
Introduced by the lords of the chaos theory
Weary-- but death just a feather
See the gathering storm I'm born to weather
Ages come and ages pass
Turns slow but it spirals fast
Pushing 'til I breathe my last
(The wheel weaves as the wheel wills)
x2
Time flows like a river, it repeats
No matter your feats, won’t keep the receipts
Turn page on an age and it’s gone
Ride the winds of time he who comes with the dawn
Drawn power from the one source and true
Navigate the two to ascertain a clue
Imbued in the moment right from the spark
Was the understanding that the light needs the dark
Shi’tan’s hand reaching for the pattern--
Full circle like we on the rings of Saturn--
Know we been here but this ain’t happened
Near to breaking, already snapping
Overlapping no end or beginning
Can’t ignore that the bore is steady thinning
Now we spinning on towards the next
As the weave grows more complex (check!)
Ages come and ages pass
Turns slow but it spirals fast
Pushing 'til I breathe my last
(The wheel weaves as the wheel wills)

Son of Battles

I’m all in-- can’t win if ya don’t play
Old tongue style, screaming straight through the melee
If they step up, get knocked back
Leave ‘em lying in the shadows face down with Jak
x2
As soon as the dice leave my finger tips
Don’t even need to look-- already know the pips
And chips stack to crowns, where crowns turn to trouble
Never doubled my money without tripling the rubble
In the wake of the stakes that break down the faint
Expecting a saint? Well, hey--I bloody ain’t
I’m no bloody hero and nobody's fool
If ya wanna hear a story though, pull up a barstool
Million of ‘em running through my mind
Only problem is, hardly any of ‘em are mine
Dark one's own luck, yea, it’s a fine line
Gotta ante up while ducking the daughter of nine (fine)
Try and leave but blood and bloody ashes
Blood splashes red from these Aiel clashes
If they wanna step up, try the son of battles
Couladin and crew gonna get hit with death rattles
(Cause)
I’m all in-- can’t win if ya don’t play
Old tongue style, screaming straight through the melee
If they step up, get knocked back
Leave ‘em lying in the shadows face down with Jak
x2
Road’s been long since Cold Rocks Hold
But I gotta keep pressing, luck favors the bold
Surrounded by faces neither young nor old
Fox head and my blood both stay running cold
Was told a lot but not much made sense
The scar around my neck always making me wince
In defense when I entered that second door
Didn’t know anyone else went in before
Light-- burn me, maybe shouldn’t concern me
But bubbles of evil don’t really discern, see
Tried to flee but I got pulled back
Now the band and I stay dancing with jack
So-- Ebb and flow, let the dice fly free
What the pips reveal, we’ll have to wait and see
Cause chance dances on the razors edge of a knife
When the gambler wagers with his life (like)
I’m all in-- can’t win if ya don’t play
Old tongue style, screaming straight through the melee
If they step up, get knocked back
Leave ‘em lying in the shadows face down with Jak

Merrilin

From the-- Camelyn courts to your local Winespring
It's your favorite G yo, here to dance and sing
Here to bring the pain to you Padan Fains
With a bow and a flourish yea you know the name-- Thom
Play the game? Yeah, I set the bar
On the game of houses, Daes Dae'mar
Known near and far, from courts to inns
Depending on your lens, running from past sins
It’s a-- wheel weave, maybe ill-conceived
The way an absent uncle chose how to grieve
Had to pick up and leave, much to queen’s scorn
Ducked back out the city to avoid the swarm
Oh no-- If only I’d been knowing
When them signs started showing
What’d be happening to Owyn
But the winds steady blowing
And they whispering of change
And you can hear me yelling if you in range
They call me Merrilin
Thom flaming Merrilin
Original G, man
(Yeah a flaming Gleeman!)
Know the time when I flutter that patchwork
Flashing knives wherever those shadows lurk
x2
Work, work, work that stage
For a modest wage, fill that guestbook page
And age? Just a number, don’t worry ‘bout mine
Just pack the tabac, ayo-- it’s Bel Tine
Rewind-- What happened last night?
Know I drank a little bit, but a Trolloc fight?
And was that a fade, I can’t shrug through shivers
Burn me, what's happening to the two rivers?
But-- like before from the jump it’s Aes Sedai
And can’t watch another kid die
So ain’t tryin to pry, but I’m joining the group
And if the wheel wills it, flee the coop
Now-- time passed, moving fast but still faded
Escaped with just a limp, but can’t be overstated
Want to step to an original G?
Prepare to pay the fee, y’all know the decree
They call me Merrilin
Thom flaming Merrilin
Original G, man
(Yeah a flaming Gleeman!)
Know the time when I flutter that patchwork
Flashing knives wherever those shadows lurk

(Asha Asha) Asha man, make your stand, seize command of Saidin
Let those who chose to stand against wake from the dream
I am full steam-- No stopping once in motion
Soul scoured to bone, fire rush in an ocean and flood veins
Maintain a claim on sane, I light skies aflame, came to change the game
So you remember the name-- leaving you a reminder
Battlefields lookin like they ran through a meat grinder
(light!)
And a voice thundered from that hill, saying
Asha'man (KILL)
Asha'man (KILL)
No standing against their will, saying
Asha'man (KILL)
Asha'man (KILL)
Drill– through the crowds, that were filled with the proud
Now the screams are so loud, they're catching funeral shrouds
Or not even– leaving nothing in the wake
As the earth quakes, fire wreathing bodies 'til the skin flakes
No brakes– Never stopping dropping anyone that’s poppin off
Embodiment of when that flame dips in the molotov
And the world will never be the same
Whether mad or sane– we’ll never be restrained
(right?)
And a voice thundered from that hill, saying
Asha'man (KILL)
Asha'man (KILL)
No standing against their will, saying
Asha'man (KILL)
Asha'man (KILL)
Shrill wails– couldn’t hear over the M’Hael
Even allies turning pale, anyone else has tucked tail
Now run– how could this ever be what the wheel has spun?
We never going back before it begun, this damage here can’t be undone
And sunlight-- When it’s burning bright across the fields
Over charred bodies and melted shields
Highlighting the horror this power wields
We never ever– Getting severed again
Any measures to win, but at what cost in the end?
(fight!)
And a voice thundered from that hill, saying
Asha'man (KILL)
Asha'man (KILL)
No standing against their will, saying
Asha'man (KILL)
Asha'man (KILL)
Asha'man.
Rest.

Form & Flow

Block the setting sun with Moon Rises Over the Lakes
Train day and night, got to do what it takes
Thems the breaks, so Shake Dew From the Branch
The six blows flow looking like a dance
Shift the stance, they rush forward but doesn’t matter
Arc of The Moon melts in to Kissing The Adder
Now they own momentum is the reason the clatter
From their blade hitting the floor is reaching the rafters
Oh-- Toe to toe, when The Swallow Takes Flight
Meets Parting The Silk to negate the bite
And knuckles white gripping hilts and pressing for all
Never once anticipated Cat Dances on The Wall
Slack jaw-- watch the armor crack
When The Kingfisher Takes a Silverback
Even The Cyclone Rages couldn’t stop the attack
And knew they just a snack as it fades to black
(like)
Every day got to train a little harder
They go too far-- I got to push farther
Ten thousand house, no faster
Do the work to become a master (like)
x2
Until only one who entered here stands
You won’t ever catch me or mine Folding The Fan
Lash out quick, fast-- in to Cat On Hot Sand
Could take twice the number with only one hand (good)
Cause while I could start Threading The Needle
It's Reaping The Barley that’ll prevent a sequel
Their first mistake was thinking we're equal
It’s easy when I’m underestimated by evil, but
The might of River Of Light finds Rain In High Wind
Rat Gnawing The Grain, barely time to defend
So spin with a blend in to Tower of Mourning
From Lion on The Hill, never give ‘em warning and--
Plucking The Low Hanging Apple to Leopard’s Caress
Not even Folding The Air would leave me impressed
Never rest until the shadow’s destroyed
Find me at the training grounds, wrapped in flame and void \
(like)
Every day got to train a little harder
They go too far-- I got to push farther
Ten thousand house, no faster
Do the work to become a master (like)

You have to let go-- learn to fully surrender
Graced by the embrace of saidar’s splendor
Center, on a tiny bud as it blooms
Towards the sun as the one power floods, consumes, and flows--
Back at the foes who would challenge the light
And the city surrounded by walls shining bright
In the fight against the dark one, led the charge
Everyone has a role, whether small or large
In the old tongue-- known as servants of all
Now secrets lay under Ajah shawls
Not many still have the wherewithal
But we gotta stand tall, the tower can’t fall
And so-- weave the flow and channel the five
Fill to bursting, never felt so alive
To survive, gotta band like the Amyrlin’s stole
But too many vie for control
Be steadfast
(Be steadfast)
The way back will come but once
Be steadfast
(Be steadfast)
No matter what you confront
Be steadfast
(Be steadfast)
The way will come but once
Be steadfast
(Be steadfast)
Be steadfast
(Be steadfast)
Got love for all hues, but shoutout to my Blues
Paying dues, dedicated to the cause they choose
For the Reds-- overcoming grips of dread
Taking care of the men mad in the head
And who bled on the frontlines– The Greens
Battle Ajah acting as the Tower’s marines
But behind the scenes, Grey in negotiations
Trying to prevent those confrontations--
Brown Ajah with they nose in a book
So studious easy to be overlooked
And if wanna see shook, get illogical with White
Wielders of reason to gain insight
But when the bite from the battle leaves sisters reeling
There’s no second to a Yellow’s healing
And don’t even get me started on the Black
Cause it doesn’t exist, nah. That’s that.
Hook:
Be steadfast
(Be steadfast)
The way will come but once
Be steadfast
(Be steadfast)
No matter what you confront
Be steadfast
(Be steadfast)
The way will come but once
Be steadfast
(Be steadfast)
Be steadfast
(Be steadfast)

Wash the Spears
Wash the Spears
Wash the Spears
Wash the Spears
(All dreams must end)
Mask up, time to hit the Stone
I’m not a hermit, you just don’t see me when I ain’t home
I must atone for the failings of my people in the past
Outcast to the threefold, where nothing ever lasts
Except Aiel, while the wheel kept turning–
While the wasteland sun kept baking and burning–
My kin picked up spears and they started learning
Cause they knew one day would see the Dragon returning
Now– We earning fifths in the monolith that couldn’t fall
Brought to reign by the Car’a’carn call
The squall that resulted catapulted the Aiel
To a fate that cut deeper, than spearpoint steel
But– won’t yield, I will meet any toh
Stand proud on the day it’s time for me to go
So–- take heart as all dreams must end
And if I gotta go, know I did it singing with friends
(like)
Wash the Spears
(While the sun climbs high)
Wash the Spears
(While the sun falls low)
Wash the Spears
(Who fears to die?)
Wash the Spears
(No one I know!)
Wash the Spears
(While life holds true)
Wash the Spears
(Until life ends)
Wash the Spears
(Life is a dream)
Wash the Spears
(All dreams must end)
No Aiel Shield Maidens scared to die
So a toast for all Far Dareis Mai
Oosquai to the sky, try as they might
A wetlander never bests Maiden in a fight
Now– a water oath has been sworn
To find the child of a Maiden from his mother torn
South of the Dragon Wall where he was born
And when found we’ll both rejoice and mourn
Worn soles on the bottom of feet
That move more swiftly than your saddle seat
Carry elite warriors with their veils raised
Up to grey eyes never surprised or phased
See– Much Ji lie in finding He
Who Comes With the Dawn from prophecy
We– will wield spears 'til nothing’s left
Screaming this 'til the very last breath
Wash the Spears
(While the sun climbs high)
Wash the Spears
(While the sun falls low)
Wash the Spears
(Who fears to die?)
Wash the Spears
(No one I know!)
Wash the Spears
(While life holds true)
Wash the Spears
(Until life ends)
Wash the Spears
(Life is a dream)
Wash the Spears
(All dreams must end)

They won't lock me up like Logain)
Yea we finna break these chains
Now The world won’t be the same
(Black Tower burning
All these light blinded lames)
Yuh we finna bring that pain
King o dat Hill but no propane
We out here, bring your whole squad get stomped down
Army's gon fall cause we can’t be stopped now
Heeding the call, got 'em running from the fallout
Feeding the squall, destruction is all out
No y'all cant enslave us
No three oaths to contain us
You want us to back down...
Why don’t you try to make us
