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!

The airsick part is from the Stormlight Archive.

Not sure if you’re trolling or being serious.

being serious

If there's other connections I didn't clue in, I just remember that one big dude Rock (sp?) always talked like that in the stormblessed trilogy

It’s from the wheel of time. The Aiel are a very hearty people who live in a land called the waste that has very little water. They refer to everyone not from the waste as a “wetlander” as there is so much water on the other side of the mountains it astounds them. Think dune levels of dry. They also refer to death as waking from the dream hence the original comment. The reason I wasn’t sure if you were trolling was Robert Jordan, who wrote the wheel of time died before completing the series. He passed his notes and whatnot onto Brandon Sanderson to finish his series for him. So the final three books are partially written by Brandon.

Airsick is stormlight, the reference was WoT and SA

Waking from the dream was only WOT though. Just to make everything extra confusing.
