Mo Lan (bottom):
Candles flare alight, a river of stars stretches for ten thousand miles. The common folk are united, and the bright moon burns to ash.
Under a clear sky and a vast moonlit river, I stand atop the ramparts and look down upon the land.
My literary skill rivals Du Fu and Li Bai, my martial prowess Xiang Yu and Huo Qubing. I know the heavens above and the earth below.
Emperors and generals lie within my grasp. Clad in a dragon robe, I alone reign supreme.
Ji Yun (top):
A thousand miles of ramparts, ten thousand homes aglow. The mighty river flows on, never ending through the ages.
Dragons play with phoenixes, songs and dances warm the stage. A rainbow pierces the sun as dark clouds press upon the city.
Broken walls and ruined courtyards, corpses strewn across the fields. I leave the towers and palaces, and seal away the beauties.
I endure hardship and bide my time, then return victorious. I conquer the Southern Ridge and end your age of splendor.
You advance step by step with your schemes in plain sight. I willingly nurture the threat, letting the tiger into my home.
Theme: Deep devotion never lasts; it is all just a performance.
