Lost memories, a single eye And from the neck you swayed The olden tongue, a set of dice The snakes and foxes game Set you on a path to save The sorceress from the tower Find her floating in a beam Of endless One True Power When you find yourself Lost inside their maze Remember to recite the words You speak before the gate “Courage to strengthen Fire to blind Music to dazzle Iron to bind” They’ll find no easy meat with you The Aelfinn and the Eelfinn The game is rigged, you have to cheat If you have hope of winning Far away, where Shai’tan stirs Deep within a mountain Ruining the land before The day of Tarmon Gai’don Dovie’andi se tovya sagain (It’s time to toss the dice) When you find yourself Lost inside their maze Remember to recite the words You speak before the gate “Courage to strengthen Fire to blind Music to dazzle Iron to bind”

In the time before The Breaking The men would channel flows Of water, wind, earth, fire, and spirit And wore Aes Sedai robes Then the Dark One rose Linked in Power, they sealed his prison But felt the Source decay The women, spared, saw death and madness The earth began to break Millions were slain The oceans drained The mountains drowned Cities disappeared Pray for us, the living damned For we have no more tears Saidin, Saidar… On Dragonmount, a child shivers A warrior and king Who once again will wield the Power And purify its spring The prophecy decrees The Wheel weaves As the Wheel wills The Pattern holds Our fragile souls The Wheel weaves As the Wheel wills Til shade is gone The Aiel song The symbol of a circle A waving line dividing Two halves a whole Abiding Broken into icons The blackened fang of dragons And the white flame of Tar Valon The Wheel weaves As the Wheel wills Darkness pours From the Bore The Wheel weaves As the Wheel wills Lews Therin’s eyes Are opened wide And of his dead companions Ilyena Sunhair Lay among The corpses there Flows of earth erupting Lews Therin was screaming “Light! Forgive me!” White flame, dragon fang

The Dark One and All of The Forsaken Are bound in Shayol Ghul But the prison seals weaken From the Blight Past the borderlands Myrdraal walk Among us once again Ishamael, Lanfear, Sammael, Moghedian, Rahvin, and Demandred, Be’lal, Semirhage, Mesaana, Aginor, Balthamel, Graendal, Asmodean Blood oaths sworn Sacrifices made Jealous hearts Among them still remain Power and Immortality Poisoned souls Numbering thirteen

There are many worlds outside our own Only one wheel, but many spokes And in the center, there is a hub But it’s no place for foolish cubs Some enter by ter’angreal Wolf brothers hold nothing at all When you go hunt the two-souled one Try to remember you’re here too strong This is the Wolf Dream Reality Is tied into this place All is a weave Run when you have to Hammer in hand Fight when you must Rest when you can Tel’aran’rihod…
