Leave Longzhong
Head for Shu’s land
One long road
One life to stand
I look back at the hut where mist still lies
Bamboo fences wind under old skies
Scrolls on the desk ink still breathes
I leave for far lands no return I seize
I go where mountains rise and rivers bend
I walk where no one knows the end
My steps won’t cease
For one promise at least
Shu’s roads twist high through peaks unknown
Clouds hide my home far and alone
But my heart is clear
Each step I steer
Towards the vow I hold dear
Shu’s road is hard but hard is heart
If my soul has aim I never part
A thousand miles still leads me home
Shu’s road is far far in the dark
If I serve the world I bear the mark
Every trial turns to land and mark
Plank roads pierce clouds above the chasm deep
I dare to walk where others sleep
Ancient steps have trod the dust
I walk with faith fulfill my trust
Sword Gate winds roar through thousand years
Heard joy and grief a million tears
Some chase for fame some chase for gain
I chase your word a world to reign
Shu’s roads twist through dreams untold
In clouds afar someone behold
My heart stands strong
Each step prolongs
To where you belong
Shu’s road is hard but hard is heart
If my soul has aim I never part
A thousand miles still leads me home
Shu’s road is far far in the dark
If I serve the world I bear the mark
Every trial turns to land and mark
This road has walked a thousand years
From Longzhong hills to Chengdu’s spheres
From one lone soul to millions’cheer
All who walk this way
Hold a fire inside that never disappears
Shu’s road is hard yet hard I bear
For I hold mountains in my care
Shu’s road is far yet far I dare
For my word is light beyond compare
The day I left the hill
The world lay at my will
The day I left the hill
I gave my life
To your world bright and still
