作词:泽希(Zesen)&东山居士(Easthill Hermit)
混音:东山居士(Easthill Hermit)
Before the break of dawn a guard lights the first faint star
Pigeons circle wide tracing the imperial bar
Six hundred cycles etched in every brick’s quiet page
I stand serene at time’s unchanging stage
Roof beasts hold the sun hour glasses mark the passing hours
One thread weaves through all hearts across all shifting powers
From Wanchun I see half mortal glow half palace wall
Drum Tower bells can’t wake the screens of financial hall
From Wanchun I see half ancient scroll half modern spark
The river holds a sky where digital galaxies arc
Late afternoon comes kites brush the cloud’s far edge
Trams ring soft and low stir stone lions from their ledge
One sunset gilds old glaze and glass that shines anew
Two worlds share one light forever pure and true
Streets weave silk of traffic chess games spread on stone ground
One road leads to then and now without a single bound
From Wanchun I see half mortal glow half palace wall
Drum Tower bells can’t wake the screens of financial hall
From Wanchun I see half ancient scroll half modern spark
The river holds a sky where digital galaxies arc
What am I An eye carved in the stone rail
Cycles fade away glory’s not the final tale
I keep the unchanging line while all the world turns pale
From Wanchun I see half mortal glow half palace wall
Drum Tower bells can’t wake the screens of financial hall
From Wanchun I see half ancient scroll half modern spark
The river holds a sky where digital galaxies arc
From Wanchun I see one thread through time and space
Our culture lights the years shines on every land and grace
