Whom shall we wait for, that has a burning heart,
so passionate that the lands pale in comparison,
to save this desolate world from its fate
Who started the unending cycle of love and hatred,
such that it troubles one's heart constantly,
only to create legends for the world?
Only the wish to restore goodness to the world,
is to cherish the world,
but killing the enemies is considered a bloody massacre
Could acting against the Heaven's will be so wrong?
Lamenting the unfinished elegy, regretting one's helplessness;
fearing the passing time, I only live for my beliefs;
let the future generations be the judge.
You are passionate, fierce like the roar of the desert storm;
You are resolute, unyielding like the lone cliff standing on its own;
You are like a sword that swept through a battle
Lonely, as you gaze upon the moon.
You are calm, untouched like a droplet of water;
You are gentle, soft like the falling flower petals;
You are praised through generations,
but you are just a mere mortal who silently laments at the sunset
