The Silent One's Torch

Darkness Surrounds
Endless seas as yet unseen
Death's fugue Abounds
From the waves to parts obscene

Midnight on the waves
I tremble before you
The pull of the Moon saves
An eye cast from dark hues
A strange star above us
It call as it Follows
The demons in my dreams
Approach from the hollows

Watch as the Lightning Strikes, ghost within the stifling mire
Crashing down, rend my soul, oh limb from limb
Thunderous chord sounding like the beast of fire
Course to my flesh, thunder plots the battle hymn

Seas change form, around us so it goes
We sail on, heedless of our fear
Cast in darkness, still Tshian-li-gan Knows
Voice of Sun-hong-ni sounds in my ears

Winds and clouds are summoned to my side
Call the waves, protect my destiny
Tshian-Lí-Gán instill the strength of pride
Sūn-Hong-Ní grant immortality

Midnight on the waves
I tremble no longer
The pull of the Moon saves
The light makes us stronger
A strange star above us
It calls and we follow
The demon in my dreams
It guides from the hollows

Watch as the lightning strikes, ghosts within the stifling mire
Crashing down, rend my soul, oh limb from limb
Thunderous chords, sounding like the beasts of fire
Course through my flesh, thunder plots the battle's hymn

Winds and clouds are summoned to my side
Call the waves, protect my destiny
Tshian-Lí-Gán instill the strength of pride
Sūn-Hong-Ní grant immortality

Tshian-Lí-Gán, Sūn-Hong-Ní stand with me
Tshian-Lí-Gán, Sūn-Hong-Ní hear my wretched plea
