The song begins with the line, ‘All living souls under heaven are just passersby,’ setting the tone for a story of impermanence. BLADES OF THE GUARDIANS uses imagery of wind, sand, and chessboards to describe life’s challenges. The poet talks about leaving behind the chaos to embrace the unknown, a theme that resonates throughout the song.
Tian xia cang sheng jie guo keAll living souls under heaven are just passersby,
Feng lie lie sha gun gunThe wind howls fierce, the sand rolls on.
Tian xia jie ju tian xia kunThe world is a trap, a cage of distress,
Jiu ju fan long li zi zai you ji renTrapped so long in this cage, how many are truly free?
Wo lai tian xia zou yi tangI have come to walk this world but once,
Sheng ji chang bai ji changTo win a few rounds, and lose a few more.
Qie ba qi pan yi zhao yangI treat this land like a chessboard, bathed in the dawn,
Pao que fen rao hou ce ma xiang cang mangThen cast aside the chaos, and ride into the vast unknown.
Tian ya zai hou liu nian zai houThe horizon falls behind, the fleeting years recede,
Hu xiao de shi jian ye zai wo shen houAnd time itself whistles past, left in my wake.
Fu guang zai hou yan xia zai houFading glory falls behind, the mist remains in the past,
Ren jian de wan wu dou zai wo shen houAll the things of this mortal world are left behind me now.
