Rand's Song
I'm the only one who can stop the end of the world
But when I seize saidin it makes me want to hurl
Oh Ilyena, I hear Lews Therin cry
At Shayol Ghul we both must die
"Shut up Lews Therin, I don't have time for your shit
If I want your opinion I'll ask for it"
The list of women I have killed runs through my head
I wonder, once I'm gone, what will be said
Of the Dragon Reborn – destroyer of lands
To think, as a sheepherder I was once so bland
Emond's Field is but a dream to me now
I shall burrow through lives like a sharpened plow
It is true; death is as light as a feather indeed
There is no arbiter of fate to which I may plead
For a life free of restrictive ta'veren constraint
I must plod to my death without complaint
What of the loves that I will leave behind
With my death, will the threads of their lives simply unwind?
Oh cruel Pattern, weaving me to a bitter end
What of the prayers to the Creator I send
To be reborn again as a normal man
Without the destiny of the world within my hands
Lews Therin: Such a fate is never for us
We must carry the burden the Creator had faith to entrust
"Shut up Lews Therin, give me time to think
Your half-coherent ramblings drive me to the brink"
Lews Therin sobs and I feel ashamed
Why is it that I assign him all the blame?
This was a man driven wholly insane
By the Dark One's taint; to think of all his pain
Now his mistakes are my problems to solve
And now as the Wheel of Time slowly revolves
It is my duty to a world now almost destroyed
To rediscover the old methods once employed
To seal the Bore in the Dark One's cage
The only protection I now have is rage
In this final war only I can wage
It's the end of an era, an end to this Age!
