View source for The Color of Trust

The Color of Trust is a long forgotten song that [[Mat]] remembers. He hears the tune while in [[Salidar]] and feels the words must have changed in a thousand years.

Give me your trust, said the [[Aes Sedai]].<br>
On my shoulders I support the sky.<br>
Trust me to know and to do what is best,<br>
And I will take care of the rest.<br>
But trust is the color of a dark seed growing.<br>
Trust is the color of a heart's blood flowing.<br>
Trust is the color of a soul's last breath.<br>
Trust is the color of death.<br>
<br>
Give me your trust, said the queen on her throne,<br>
For I must bear the burden all alone.<br>
Trust me to lead and to judge and to rule,<br> 
And no man will think you a fool.<br>
But trust is the sound of the grave-dog's bark.<br>
Trust is the sound of betrayal in the dark.<br>
Trust is the sound of a soul's last breath.<br>
Trust is the sound of death.<br>
<br>
({{loc2|Chapter 44}})
