"Till shade is gone, till water is gone, in to the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit into Sightblinder's eye on the Last Day."
- Aiel Oath
lyrics
Wash the Spears
Wash the Spears
Wash the Spears
Wash the Spears
(All dreams must end)
Mask up, time to hit the Stone
I’m not a hermit, you just don’t see me when I ain’t home
I must atone for the failings of my people in the past
Outcast to the threefold, where nothing ever lasts
Except Aiel, while the wheel kept turning–
While the wasteland sun kept baking and burning–
My kin picked up spears and they started learning
Cause they knew one day would see the Dragon returning
Now– We earning fifths in the monolith that couldn’t fall
Brought to reign by the Car’a’carn call
The squall that resulted catapulted the Aiel
To a fate that cut deeper, than spearpoint steel
But– won’t yield, I will meet any toh
Stand proud on the day it’s time for me to go
So–- take heart as all dreams must end
And if I gotta go, know I did it singing with friends
(like)
Wash the Spears
(While the sun climbs high)
Wash the Spears
(While the sun falls low)
Wash the Spears
(Who fears to die?)
Wash the Spears
(No one I know!)
Wash the Spears
(While life holds true)
Wash the Spears
(Until life ends)
Wash the Spears
(Life is a dream)
Wash the Spears
(All dreams must end)
No Aiel Shield Maidens scared to die
So a toast for all Far Dareis Mai
Oosquai to the sky, try as they might
A wetlander never bests Maiden in a fight
Now– a water oath has been sworn
To find the child of a Maiden from his mother torn
South of the Dragon Wall where he was born
And when found we’ll both rejoice and mourn
Worn soles on the bottom of feet
That move more swiftly than your saddle seat
Carry elite warriors with their veils raised
Up to grey eyes never surprised or phased
See– Much Ji lie in finding He
Who Comes With the Dawn from prophecy
We– will wield spears 'til nothing’s left
Screaming this 'til the very last breath
Wash the Spears
(While the sun climbs high)
Wash the Spears
(While the sun falls low)
Wash the Spears
(Who fears to die?)
Wash the Spears
(No one I know!)
Wash the Spears
(While life holds true)
Wash the Spears
(Until life ends)
Wash the Spears
(Life is a dream)
Wash the Spears
(All dreams must end)

This album is amazing and relatable. I can't really describe it.
I feel like I do this album disservice with this description. Give it a listen! Robin Wils
