The Galaxy

In the vast cosmos, you and I are both but specks of dust.

Made by the forces of creation, we have no say in our birth or death. We live exhausted, helpless lives!

But there is always defiance, always a refusal to yield!

I will make the person who loves me live well. Even if my bones are shattered and my body torn apart, I'll seize a sword and cleave this sea of stars in two!

There is always injustice in this world, like mountain after mountain pressing down on us. Invisible chains bind you layer upon layer, and even drawing a breath seems to require someone's permission.

I am myself! I want to live as freely as I am!

I want to live life the way I choose!

Here I come! I am Ximen!...
