Two dragons come, one dragon goes, five tigers and a wolf wreak havoc in Luoyang;
One king to the west, one king to the east, a cloud-dreaming serpent eyes the realm.
Blood is shed at Huan Yuan. Who will lay down their arms by the Dan River?
A dirge sends off those fallen in battle. Who will honor the souls buried in foreign lands?
War rages on, and the purple garden blossoms; nine suns rise together, laying waste to the world.
Heaven is endless, but mortals are not; an arrow fells the Golden Crow, imprisoning the sun.
The divine vessel of all under heaven returns to Tao Tang; benevolence spreads through the world, and the wicked hide.
In days to come, a torrent will sweep away the evil tide; the great achievements of an age will return to the primordial wilds.
