Inscription:

“I had seen countless wonders in the world and had the most amazing and prolific friends in the world. We sang on cliffs, chanted on snow-capped mountains, toasted each other in the desert, and gazed at the moon at sea.”⁽¹⁾

Lyrics:

Who burned the candle and illuminated the mystery hidden by time?
This light flowed wantonly and reversed the identity of the exposed and undercover
Look who once stood where the game of chess was full of holes
Look at the truest lies in front of them
But who cares if they were lies?

With wholehearted tenacity, I walked towards the most tolerant execution ground
All those that were cracked and shattered echoed hollowly in space
In the end, I am just grateful that I remained who I was
There is a lot more twists and turns still yet to be told

The most peculiar mountain ridges⁽²⁾ behind us had put up with our wildness
The bright moon and its reflection on the sea had mapped out the shape of our wine glasses⁽³⁾
The most aloof and arrogant snow mountains⁽⁴⁾ had listened to us recite our stories
Yet the stunning plot admired by the world had already become our routine

Light can illuminate the hardships in the past and the virtue in the future
Light can repair this corrupt and ugly world with its endless generosity
Look at what you have planned and plotted against, and look at your hesitating path
See, it was solely your courage that stood with you to the end to fight with this crazy world

With wholehearted tenacity, I walked towards the most tolerant execution ground
All those that were cracked and shattered echoed hollowly in space
In the end, I am just grateful that I remained who I was
And there is a lot of twists and turns still yet to be told

The most peculiar mountain ridges behind us had put up with our wildness
The bright moon and its reflection on the sea had mapped out the shape of our wine glasses
The most aloof and arrogant snow mountains had listened to us recite our stories
Yet the stunning plot admired by the world had already become our routine

The most peculiar mountain ridges behind us had put up with our wildness
The bright moon and its reflection on the sea had mapped out the shape of our wine glasses
The most dilapidated codex⁽⁵⁾ has been recording an endless journey
Although I have only experienced a few episodes⁽⁶⁾ that I accidentally picked up

The most aloof and arrogant snow mountains had listened to us recite our stories
Yet the stunning plot admired by the world had already become our routine
The slender writings⁽⁷⁾ have already faded away
But I will once again overlay it with new chapters
