The Uncanceled Death Register

Jiang Jinzhou

Shen Che enters the death register; the army rolls report him dead first.

Grain carts stop inside the pass, while relief silver slips into private purses.

The White Wolves surround the snowy fort; a greedy general sits in the hall.

I rise from among the dead, my blade set against the White Wolf King.

Whoever swallows the frontier army's pay, I'll tear open the old books of corruption.

The death register can't bury the truth. I raise my blade to pacify the northern frontier.
