It’s all come down to this
Your first chance to stumble
Your last chance to miss
There won’t be no next time
This is all there is left
The sea won’t stop rising
So just hold your breath
You can’t give up now
You can’t run and hide
There is no escape
Your caught in the tide
Its all come down to this
Your first chance to stumble
Your last chance to miss
Is there time enough to wonder
Is there time enough to worry
Is there time enough to question
Everything
Where’s this all gonna lead
Does it stop when they’re broken
Does it end when they bleed
Do the drums keep on beating
Do the horns ever cease
Is there too much momentum
To ever know peace
We take two steps forward
But don’t take one back
Charging ahead
We fly off the track
Where’s this all gonna lead
Does it stop when they’re broken
Does it end when they bleed
Is there time enough to wonder
Is there time enough to worry
Is there time enough to question
Everything

Edwin

Edwin is a man of principle
Keeps his nose clean
And he tows the line
Never known to do anything unusual
Works everyday
Always on time
Lives by himself in a house in the suburbs
Outside the city
Of buffalo
Takes his meals at the kitchen table
Every once in a while
Sees a picture show
Spends his nights in front of a monitor
Basking in the glory
Of online fame
GM of the best guild on the server
From Stormwind to Orgrimar
They know him by name
Running noobs through dungeons, running flags in the Gulch
A toon for every resource
and trade in the game
A Hero for the Horde
In the arena
Top DPS hunter when in a raid
Edwin the Undying, the Awakened, the Lightbringer
Crusader, Starcaller
The titles go on
Realm firsts in Blackwing, Molten Core and Karazhan
Sunwell, Hyjal
And Magtheridon
Epic loots a plenty and mounts by the dozens
He’s seen so much content
His achievements abound
Exalted reputation with the factions that count
Tamed every exotic
His feats are renowned
R1 since S1 tiers 4, 5 and 6
A Gladiator born
On the Arena floor
He’ll PWN you in Lordaeron and bleed you in the Ring
LOS you in the Sewers
As the tears start to pour
Never sits ratings he cues every night
3800
At the top of the page
Face him enough times you’ll slide down the ladder
GGs then QQ
And quit out of rage

The Rhythms (Part 1)
07:19
|
|||
Out from the Origin the Highstorm comes and
With it come the Dreams
The Desolations have returned
Heralds no where to be seen
The Blackthorn sees the visions clear
Dawnchant tumbles from his lips
Did the one called Honor truly die
Or is it into madness that he slips
Five years ago the Truthless one
Killed the Alethi king on a night of peace
The war began with spoken oath
Till vengeance comes we will not cease
Stormblessed sits inside a cage
A slave now though he used to fight
Riding to the Shattered Plains
While Wind Spren dance all through the night
Bridgemen running to their deaths
Small sacrifice to win the war
Stormblessed vows to find a way
To save the men who run Bridge 4
We Speak to the Rhythms
Our songs will tell you who we are
We Speak to the Rhythms
A history that runs so deep
We Speak to the Rhythms
A form for peace a form for war
We speak to the Rhythms
A song to laugh a song to weep
We Speak to the Rhythms
We hid from gods long ago
We Speak to the Rhythms
From power that must not return
We Speak to the Rhythms
Gavilar had to die
We Speak to the Rhythms
His plan was for Roshar to burn
In the City of Bells Brightness Davar
Seeks wardship with the heretic
The plan to save her house and home
Becomes the jam that makes her sick
Drowning in a sea of spheres
Saved by hands that know betrayal
Pattern spins upon the floor
Brightness will soon don the Veil
Truthless roams across the land
Spreading fear and sowing death
Oathstone bound he soon will serve
The one who harvests dying breaths
Judged by the Highstorm, Kaladin lays
Stormlight drained from every sphere
Down in the chasms Bridge 4 trains
Seeking freedom through the spear
The visions still come with the Storms
The countdowns written on the wall
Sadeas plots the Blackthorn’s death
The Tower's where he'll see him fall
We Speak to the Rhythms
Our song will tell you who we are
We Speak to the Rhythms
A history that runs so deep
We Speak to the Rhythms
A form for peace a form for war
We speak to the Rhythms
A song to laugh a song to weep
We Speak to the Rhythms
We hear the rhythms of Roshar
We Speak to the Rhythms
As we fight out on the Plains
We Speak to the Rhythms
Sweeping Shards, burning eyes
We Speak to the Rhythms
Our songs will be all that remain
Stormblessed goes from slave to Knight
Although his torments linger still
On his shoulders Syl alights
The Bond was formed through spoken will
Bridge 4 freed by the Blackthorn's Shard
Oathbringer now in Sadeas' hands
Questioned why the Dalinar says
A priceless sword for priceless men
Truthless hears the cries of men
His actions haunt him day and night
To the Oathstone his will is bound
Denied a choice he still must fight
From a shipwreck to the Shattered Plains
Brightness learns to weave the Light
In the Warcamps she must find a way
To become the little knife
Veil hunts with broken men
The Ghostbloods put her on the trail
A shrouded past slowly revealed
A fathers face growing pale
We Speak to the Rhythms
We wear the ancient Forms again
We speak to the Rhythms
Though one of us desires more
We speak to the Rhythms
Secrets spoken by a spren
We speak to the Rhythms
The storm we bring will end the war
We speak to the Rhythms
A Form of power we must find
We speak to the Rhythms
To call upon the Everstorm
We speak to the Rhythms
Clouded heart and clouded mind
We speak to the Rhythms
Soon the Fused will be reborn
Assassins fill the Warcamps now
The Diagram says it's time to strike
The Sons of Honor plotting still
Slowly pushing down the spike
The Blackthorn seeks to win the war
In 3 days time countdown ends
Moash stalking Elhokar
A broken oath seeks to mend
Truthless flies to the Shattered Plains
The killer of kings seeks one more death
No longer Truthless, Szeth now sees
His madness grows with every breath
Highprinces march the Shattered Plains
The Vengeance Pact will be fulfilled
The Weeping starts, the constant rain
Will wash away the blood that's spilled
The Blackthorn fights a losing war
The Everstorm and the Highstorm clash
Urithiru standing tall
Knights Radiant have returned at last
We Speak to the Rhythms
We wear the ancient Forms again
We speak to the Rhythms
Though one of us desires more
We speak to the Rhythms
Secrets spoken by a spren
We speak to the Rhythms
The storm we bring will end the war
We speak to the Rhythms
Listeners we named ourselves
We speak to the Rhythms
But Listeners we are no more
We speak to the Rhythms
Bodies bearing ancient souls
We speak to the Rhythms
For Odium we will endure

Some things never get old
Some things never feel new
Some stories never get told
No matter
What you do
It’s times like these that worry me
It’s times like those I miss
It’s times like these that shouldn’t be
Yet these times still exist
I don’t spend time thinking about what coulda been
And I’ll never know what will be
It’s enough just handling the state I’m in
Trying to get shade from a dying tree
It isn’t what it once was
But it ain’t much better
People still shouting from the rooftops
Hammers breaking chains but the minds still fettered
They’re opening with Kings Gambit
Time to decline or take the Pawn
Can’t rely on the dark square bishop
He just got hung on the castle lawn
You can’t listen when no one’s talking
You can’t speak when you got no voice
You can’t see when there’s no clarity
You can’t choose when you got no choice
I know it sucks feeling burned out
I know it sucks feeling helpless
I know it sucks when you’re running with no place to go
You feel stuck but were gonna get through this
When you're in the minority
Your words don’t seem to count
Just sit back and defer to authority
The Legend grows with each account
I must admit, half of me wants this
But the other half don’t
Dichotomy is my existence
Sink the ship so we all can float
Now nothing really makes sense
But we still reap what we sow
Irresponsibility, greed and misery
How do you make your garden grow
I know it sucks feeling burned out
I know it sucks feeling helpless
And it sucks to say I told you so
And it sucks that they’re gonna shelf this
