Solemn Dates



The king of the dark night ruled the world

That superb palace occupied by Python



Every ghosts eulogized

Every goblins danced coquettishly

The word of dark iron is better than the heaven



No one misses the light of soul

That heaven and earth is transparent, solemn dates



On the river bank of times

Standing the lofty city of gold

The Wings of Night Covered The Sky



The wings of night covered the sky

The sun eclipsed

Mankind forget the day gradually

Even the light of stars and moon

Is also as ice-cold as knife and sword

Where are these ghosts of Lethe rush out

Greedy eyes seeked the palace in the grave

They still dream of the happiness of ancient emperors

The street is a python

Opening a big mouth of bloody

Ate off the shadowy men and women who are chasing the dreams
