作曲:头条梦三
作词:头条梦三
I climb the tower alone
Cold banners cut the dusk
Beyond the moat the fires move
Like fish beneath black ice
My homeland names the smoke
And the smoke does not answer
I count each road I lost
Each gate the blade has taken
My sleeve is full of ash
My heart keeps one thin lantern
Return my heart return
Return through iron rain
My mother's door is far
Yet calls me by my name
Return my heart return
Though drums erase the plain
I stand and hold my grief
Like jade in shattered flame
The moon hangs on a spear
Above the ridge of graves
I hear the old court songs
Under the marching feet
A king may lose his crown
A son may lose his years
Still I keep faith upright
Inside this ruined wind
I count each road I lost
Each gate the blade has taken
My sleeve is full of ash
My heart keeps one thin lantern
Return my heart return
Return through iron rain
My mother's door is far
Yet calls me by my name
Return my heart return
Though drums erase the plain
I stand and hold my grief
Like jade in shattered flame
If dawn should find me here
Let it find me facing west
Let my broken robe speak plain
Of rivers I cannot cross
Of wheat that bent in summer
Of plum branches in the snow
Of all the quiet years
The war has carried off
Return my heart return
Return through iron rain
My mother's door is far
Yet calls me by my name
Return my heart return
Though drums erase the plain
I stand and hold my grief
Like jade in shattered flame
