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
Part 2
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
Part 3
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 Finally, cleared the shadow from my mind
In these hands I hold a second chance May the dragon ride again on winds of time
