Well we're training to be Asha'man
To be ready for the Tarmon Gai'don.
We're from Murandy and Abou Dar,
Camelyn, Tear and Shienar.
To the Light and Land and Tower we're sworn.
We're the army of the Dragon Reborn!
Steady, day by day our numbers grow
Channeling threads; Channeling flows.
And we're training to be Asha'man
But our sanity is wearing down
And it's getting hard to fight the taint.

Soldiers, Dedicated, Asha'man
We're your fathers, cousins, uncles and sons
But we're Asha'man too, all the same
Like Logain Ablar; Like Mazrim Taim.
And like Rand al'Thor we're Channeling men.
We'll be standing there with Rand at the end.
But the foul and filth that is saidin
Driving us mad; Wishing it clean.
It's the fate of being Asha'man
Until Shai'tan's taint from saidin is gone
And we can Channel without going insane!

What's that feeling in the core of The Source?
Male and female threads combined with such force!
Something's happening, the tainting has ceased!
Dragon and Aes Sedai sa'angreal unleashed!

Well, we're celebrating Asha'man.
Because the filthiness in saidin is gone
We can channel without going insane!

We can channel without going insane!
And we're training to be Asha'man.
