If this is in the wrong board, please let me know where to put it.

I was listening to the song "Through the Fire and Flames" by Dragonforce, and I looked at the lyrics and realized they almost perfectly describe Kaladin.

Here's where to find the full lyrics: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dragonforce/throughthefireandtheflames.html

I was gonna copy/paste my favorite lines, but I realized I'd just be pasting the entirety of the song.

Y'know what, screw it. Here's the lyrics:

 

On a cold winter morning
In the time before the light*
In flames of death's eternal reign
We ride towards the fight
 
When the darkness has fallen down
And the times are tough alright*
The sound of evil laughter falls
Around the world tonight
 
Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel
Through the wastelands evermore*
The scattered souls will feel the hell*
Bodies wasted on the shores
 
On the blackest plains in Hell's domain*
We watch them as they go
Through the fire and pain and once again we know
 
So now we fly ever free*
We're free before the thunderstorm*
On towards the wilderness*
Our quest carries on*
 
Far beyond the sundown*
Far beyond the moonlight*
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls*
 
So far away we wait for the day*
For the lives all so wasted and gone*
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days*
Through the fire and the flames we carry on*
 
As the red day is dawning**
And the lightning cracks the sky***
They'll raise their hands to the heavens above**
With resentment in their eyes
 
Running back through the mid morning light
There's a burning in my heart
We're banished from a time in a fallen land*
To a life beyond the stars
 
In your darkest dreams see to believe****
Our destiny is time****
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight*****
 
And on the wings of a dream*
So far beyond reality*
All alone in desperation*
Now the time has gone
 
Lost inside you'll never find*
Lost within my own mind*
Day after day this misery must go on*
 
So far away we wait for the day*
For the lives all so wasted and gone*
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days*
Through the fire and the flames we carry on*
 
Woah, woah, whoah
Woah, woah, whoah
 
Now here we stand with their blood on our hands*
We fought so hard, now can we understand*
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can*
For freedom of every man*
 
So far away we wait for the day*
For the lives all so wasted and gone*
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days*
Through the fire and the flames we carry on*
 
*These lines I feel describe Kaladin the best

I used to think the same when listening to the song, but i think the lines mentioned above refers to the heralds being stuck in "damnation" after every desolation. The lyrics describe what the nine heralds felt when they escaped from damnation and how the experience was while the last two lines of the second last paragraphs refers to the herald of war (tale'nlin i believe) and what he felt being stuck in damnation and holding back odium for 4500 years.

I like this comparison! Whenever I hear Master of the Puppets, I think of Ruin talking to Zack.

End of passion play, crumbling away
I’m your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death’s construction
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You’re dedicated to
How I’m killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets I’m pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can’t see a thing
Just call my name, ‘cause I’ll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, ‘cause I’ll hear you scream
Master
Master

Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You’re dedicated to
How I’m killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets I’m pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can’t see a thing
Just call my name, ‘cause I’ll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, ‘cause I’ll hear you scream
Master
Master

Master, master
Where’s the dreams that I’ve been after?
Master, master
You promised only lies
Laughter, laughter
All I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, laughter
Laughing at my cries

Fix me

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Never-ending maze, drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets I’m pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can’t see a thing
Just call my name, ‘cause I’ll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, ‘cause I’ll hear you scream
Master
Master
