The flame of the skies (A Wheel of time tribute)
Upon the plane, the shadow-filled plane she rides...
We're gathered here to make our last stand
We're gathered here to bring the end
The end of an age
The threads are woven
One final command
And the story is told
Lights flashing, ground burning, the fight has begun
Of fires from the skies dies the shadow spawn
The power descends, and when the battle ends
The light stands alone
In their hearts burns the flame
Upon the plane, the shadow-filled plane
Rides the hope of the light
Rides Tar Valon's flame
She rides, she rides, she rides, she rides
Flame of the skies that men look to to fight through the shadow
She rides, she rides, she rides, she rides
In darkest hour
She stands up, the heart of the tower
Her face not a mask, serenity shattered
In anger and fire the Amyrlin burns
Will fire consume and the light deny her?
It is not mine to tell how the story ends
All I know is that if she is lost
She will make the dark fear and demand her price
If a flame burns too bright there's a cost
What she must find inside on the shadow-filled plane
Is to go on when everyone thinks it's in vain
She rides, into the light she rides
Flame of the skies, makes their eyes turn away from the shadow
She rides, into legend she rides
Live on forever
In story, in song
Herald of the fourth age
