Trust
Author's note : This is the song Mat remembers while dancing in Salidar. Something unusual is that I found the song on a Wiki because I am currently reading Fires of Heaven (and it will take so much time until Lords of Chaos is translated in romanian) I can say I fell for it immediatly – it's wonderful. Like other fans, I couldn't help but to continue it.
Disclaimer : I do not own any of the characters. The first two stanzes are by Robert Jordan. The rest is mine :D.
Give me your trust, said the Aes Sedai.
On my shoulders I support the sky.
Trust me to know and to do what is best,
And I will take care of the rest.
But trust is the color of a dark seed growing.
Trust is the color of a heart's blood flowing.
Trust is the color of a soul's last breath.
Trust is the color of death.
Give me your trust, said the queen on her throne,
for I must bear the burden all alone.
Trust me to lead and to judge and to rule,
and no man will think you a fool.
But trust is the sound of the grave-dog's bark.
Trust is the sound of betrayal in the dark.
Trust is the sound of a soul's last breath.
Trust is the sound of death.
Give me your trust, said the king on high
I stand before you promising not to lie.
Trust me to judge and to fight and to try,
and every nation at the sight of you will cry.
But trust is the embrace of a Halfmen's flesh.
Trust is the embrace of a nightmare's clash.
Trust is the embrace of a soul's last breath.
Trust is the embrace of death.
Give me your trust, said the lady and lord
And together we will attain the untold.
Trust us to see you through the night,
and for you all the malice we shall blight.
But trust is the sight of your loved one's demise.
Trust is the sight of a clock's ticking last.
Trust is the sight of a soul's last breath.
Trust is the sight of death.
Give me your trust, said the love of your life
For I shall ease the turmoil and strife.
Trust me to love you in return,
and when you're gone my heart will burn.
But trust is the taste of bitter despair.
Trust is the taste of Mashadar's lair.
Trust is the taste of a soul's last breath.
Trust is the taste of death.
Do you like it ? I really hope you do. So, I know I wrote "embrace" and broke the chain of the senses, but it sounds better this way . My opinion :D . It was so hard to make the verses rhyme, and I ended up writing for two hours and realising I had homework for the next day !
Anyway, thank you for reading :) . Please R&R ( right now I consider reading the series in english ).
