Peasants uprise in the East
Beheading the Christian priest
Descending into mortal vessels
Divine possession
Righteous fist to the teeth of the wicked
Sweeping through the coastal lands
Burning out the Christian man
Bulletproof
Slaughtering for Heaven
Eight nations joined in arms
Retributive massacre
Holy bandits confiscating property
Looting the cities and murdering the masses

火眼金睛
穿透妖怪偽裝
一棒打下，肝腦塗地
妖怪離開肉身
被三騙
被三罰
師父掃地出門
徒弟周遊四方

Piles of dismembered limbs
Washed up on the shore
Yet strangely free of gore
Choice morsels of long veal and beef
Wretchedly amputated, odious vile intent
Gambled your life away
Demanding restitution
Hacking away in blood sprays
Binding and gagging, anxiety rising
A chill runs through my veins
As I raise my meat cleaver
For disposal of human remains, the kitchen beckons
Fluffy and white,
Perfectly steamed meat bun delight

Throes of a Dying Age
05:25
|
|||
|
Paralyzed on the precipice of revolution
Railways seized, indebted to the four powers
Throes of a dying age
Bloodshed and riots
Sedition and rebellion
Curtains fall on centuries of iron fisted rule
The furious thrashing of a dying beast
Drawn and quartered by warlords
Monolithic power divided
Butchery of the weak does not cease

A warm summer's night in nineteen thirty seven
A missing japanese soldier set ablaze the heavens
Hundreds of stone lions silently standing guard
Straddling the Yongding river as enemies approach from afar
Conducting show of force, a private disappears
They demanded permission to search Wanping but the garrison refused
Blasts of hellish sound
As rifles open fire
No glory here to be found as tormented men expire
Japanese momentarily repulsed, but diesel engines begin to roar
Deathly shower of artillery shells
Grinding men into meat
Unending assault, walls blasted apart, we can only retreat
Abandoned to worms, rotting in an open grave
Death takes you by the hand, a companion most depraved

內心膽怯
縱然天下無敵
也不願面對事實
江湖波盪
恩恩怨怨
人心險惡
齊赴黑木崖
嫉妒攻心
悲喜交集
步步走向毀滅深淵
揮劍攻擊
刺殺兄弟
無罪無愆
退出江湖
但躲不過眾人眼光
眾人指責
當為不為
蒼天，
我
我
我錯了嗎？

Ripped to Shreds

Vengeful fox spirit
Forceful possession
Poisoned gift of flesh
Corruption and gluttony
Bodies writhe in pain and lust
Slaking thirst in a lake of wine
Tree boughs laden with roasted meat
Mauled
Bodies carved apart
Crush
Gorging and gormandize on human meat
The fox's lascivious gaze
Saunters along the boy's slender hands
With greed she draws him close and plies him with wine
And beckons him to her private chambers
Seething hatred in rejection
False denunciation
Feet and hands hacked off
Body ripped to shreds
Minced into meat, served as pastries

Remnants
04:14
|
|||
|
In full flight they fled
Perilous paths lay ahead
Through dense thickets and towering mountains
A journey towards uncertain death
Starving regiments
Lost in the mist
Lurking...
Striking out against the Red Army
From deep within Kentung
Collapse of the Burmese government
Years of civil war bolstered by CIA support
General Li seizes despotic control
Hidden fields of poppies
Caravans of narcotic stupor
Crawl across the golden triangle
