Letra de 'Zhongdu' de Bleak Destiny

Zhongdu
[at the gates of zhongdu]

Here we stand on this north land
The fires in the night have died down
Conquering all, now we stand by this wall
Waiting for word from the crown

Solo

I have been given it all; gold, silver and pearls
Xuanzong on his knees, crying, begging pleas
I think now, i'll withdraw for the time
Troops of mine, look discouraged… but
I think i'll give this some time…

[some time later…]

The night was dark as he entered my hut
The news he brought entered my thought…

For all this time, my life on the line
Regrouping they were, like wolves on a mare

Chance to peace i gave… now rage…

The jin court flees southward to kaifeng
Retreating from peace

The counterattack i will not wait for

In the morning we'll ride, zhongdu will pay this time

[destruction]

To enemy we ride…

Outnumbered by eight times more men
We will break and kill them well

Engaged in a battle storm, let the cowards now pray and mourn

And now they will see… what it takes to break peace with me…

We enter…

Break the gates, storm with haste
We relish their fall

Death, bereavement all around
Won't cause us to break our ground

Execute those that betrayed…
The rest will submit at our will

[vi ctory]

The battle subsides, the wounds now our pride

Those who died; now forever on our side

I feel the north wind blow
Calms us after the storm
Feel the inner senses slow…

Tranquility obtained

Yet, there is still ruptured rage

Zhongdu now our desolate place
The royal dogs have been out chased
Slaughtered, broken down

Clearly, the battle won

No mercy showed to those that run

Beseeching eyes we now see

Those who bow down, we will let live…

Solo

The morning after, we ride

More conquered territory on our hands

We feel the strong breeze from the yellow sea

Through the jin empire into the steppes of the east

More conquest lies ahead…

For glory of mongolia
