[Sword Snow Stride]

[Episode 27]

No!

Xu Feng Nian doesn't deserve to die!

You shouldn't be here.

Do you know me?

Your mother is the leader of the 3,000 swordsmen of Chu.

I have seen you before.

Lord Jing'an made me a pawn

to assassinate Xu Feng Nian.

But Xu Feng Nian didn't kill me.

He treats Her Highness well

and has no intention to deceive.

If those two hadn't stuck up for you,

you would be dead by now.

Knowing that Your Highness is still alive,

it's a great blessing to Chu.

Father pleaded with Xu Xiao to spare my life.

Just that alone,

I can spare Xu Xiao this once.

If you're that great,

why haven't you been to Beiliang all these years?

A soldier should stay clear of the enemy's main force.

Beiliang is a dangerous zone that one should never easily trespass on.

You even broke into the palace.

The danger of Beiliang

is far greater than that of the palace.

Are you afraid to be in Beiliang?

Had I known Your Highness was in Beiliang,

I would have gone there.

Your Highness.

You have suffered all these years.

Actually, I've been doing pretty well.

Your Highness, what else would you like to bring with you?

Bring with me? Where to?

Return to Chu with me.

The Western Chu has fallen a long time ago.

But the Chus are still around.

You're not referring to you alone, are you?

Of course.

It's not just me.

The survivors of Chu have already gathered in Sichuan.

The land of Chu is in chaos now.

Those are your people.

They've been in despair for a long time.

They're waiting for Your Highness to bring them home.

No.

I won't let her go.

I'm not asking for your permission.

She's mine.

I'm not yours.

Get out of the way.

He wanted to get Jiang Ni, but I didn't let him.

The same goes for you.

If I intend to take her,

no one in this world can stop me.

Two-Sleeved Green Snake?

Li Chun Gang?

I know what my name is.

You don't have to remind me.

Weren't you held by the Lu family?

Do you think I can that easily be fooled?

So you've been around all this time?

Those two blows against Lu Bai Jie

were sloppy but not bad.

The rest was a mess.

Step aside!

I'll lecture you later.

Even if Wang Xian Zhi was here,

he couldn't stop me either.

You're getting old.

Cut the crap!

Coach...

Coach Cao.

Your Highness.

Can you not fight?

I, Cao Chang Qing, am at your command.

Coach Cao.

Can I not go with you?

Your Highness.

If you stay, you'll only be a maid.

Given that status, will he marry you?

I didn't say I want to get married to him.

Wait a minute.

Since we're not fighting anymore,

how about talking inside

instead of standing here?

Good idea.

Qing Niao.

Go outside and get Master Wei and Ning E'mei.

Tell them to guard Baoguo Temple.

Don't let anyone in.

After I die,

I hope Your Highness will spare that girl outside the temple.

Why would you die?

The presence of Cao Chang Qing here

and the rise of chaos in Chu.

I know too much.

If I don't die, not even Heaven can tolerate it.

Actually, you still have another choice.

If you serve under Beiliang,

you won't have to die.

If I leave, no one will take care of the girl.

Take her along to Beiliang.

Her grandfather is paralyzed and is seriously ill. So she could not travel far.

Before her grandfather passes away,

I can't leave Yangzhou.

It's all right.

You can stay to look after her.

Stay?

Take this.Take this money and get him treated.

When he feels better,

get a carriage and bring them to Beiliang.

Are you saying that I can go?

There's no more fighting.

There's no point for you to stay either.

Aren't you afraid that I'll spread the news out?

If I choose to use you,

I'll believe in you.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Please wait for me in Beiliang.

No matter how long it takes,

Beiliang is always there for you.

So you find this scholar reliable?

Yes.

Not afraid that he'd betray you?

There's a world of difference

between the gentries and the poor families in Yangzhou.

If a promising future is what he's after,

he'll have to go to Beiliang.

If I were to step into the quagmire,

[Baoguo Temple] would you like to be with me?

As long as my grandfather is fine,

I'll accompany you wherever you go.

It's a deal then.

When your grandfather gets better,

we'll leave Jiangnan.

Where will we go?

Go north.

Greetings, Prime Minister.

You're here.

You asked to see me.

I wouldn't dare to decline.

You seem to be having a good time.

I don't like pretending to be an honest and upright official.

I want the scholars to be green with envy

and inspire them to fight their way to the top.

You disagree?

About that.

I dare not make any comments.

I heard that Cao Chang Qing showed up in Yangzhou.

I've heard that too.

He was last seen heading to Yangcheng.

Xu Feng Nian is there too.

Perhaps, we can trump something up

and say that Beiliang and Cao Chang Qing are...

No.

No.

I say we wait.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

Let's see

if Cao Chang Qing and Xu Feng Nian

will run into each other.

If they do,

what kind of situation will that be?

All right.

Let me know as soon as you hear anything.

Please rest assured.

Go on.

It's so diligent of you

to bring the work back home.

Indeed, it's a little inappropriate

to bring the memorials back home.

But when it comes to governance matters,

we can't be bothered with those petty rules.

To achieve great things, one need not stand on trifles.

Prime Minister.

I admire your verve.

The patriots of Chu have long been lurking in Sichuan

and waiting for Your Highness.

Xu Feng Nian is very likely

to be the next Lord of Beiliang.

The Liyang royalty will probably send a princess to him.

Beiliang might be strong.

But it's still a vassal state of Liyang.

Whether Jiang Ni stays or goes,

what does it have to do with the Xu family?

Your Highness,

it's the will of the people

that you return to Chu with me.

When the former subordinates reassemble,

we can then return to Western Chu,

and Liyang will have another foreign enemy.

That way, Beiliang's position will be even stronger.

Also,

you can be of equal rank to Xu Feng Nian

by becoming the queen of Chu.

There's nothing between me and him.

Mr. Cao, may I say a few words?

First.

Holding back attacks on enemies to protect ourselves isn't something that we'll do.

Second.

Beiliang makes preparations for war to maintain world peace.

It's never our intention to rise up in revolt

and cause war to break out.

Such a shallow-minded person.

How are you going to become the Lord of Beiliang?

We have too many big shots

who have no regard for human life.

I insist to bea shallow-minded Lord of Beiliang who has limits.

Your Highness, what's your decision?

I never thought about being a big shot.

It's not that.

You're the last hope of Western Chu.

Could you bear to watch the Chus perish?

Why must it be me?

The blood flowing through your body

brings you glory

and comes with great responsibility.

Your Highness.

The royal family can't escape from it.

That's enough!

Stop pushing her.

If you return Her Highness to me,

I can kill Chen Zhi Bao for you.

Jiang Ni isn't a bargaining chip.

It doesn't matter what you offer.

I won't agree to it.

You...

want to keep Her Highness?

It's her fate.

Let her decide.

Do you want to go home?

It's something that I dream about.

Following the fall of Chu,

the likes of us are like duckweeds with broken roots.

Since then, we've been feeling helpless,

and it left us destitute with nowhere to go.

If we can reunite with our people,

we won't be far from our hometown now.

But Your Highness, it doesn't matter.

No?

You have your own life.

You don't owe us anything.

You're not just our princess.

You're also my friend.

Your Highness.

I respect your decision.

I'll go with you.

Jiang Ni.

Actually, I'm used to being a maidservant.

I study every day to make money.

Just a few coins to buy cosmetics

will make me happy for a long time.

You wouldn't notice when I pilfered some pastries.

It's a simple life.

But I love it.

Stay then.

But Coach Cao was right.

I have my own responsibility.

So many people are waiting for me.

Longing to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I've experienced despair myself.

So I know how important this light to them.

I'm Jiang Ni, your maidservant.

I'm also the Princess of Chu.

I have royal blood.

I, Cao Chang Qing...

I, Yu You Wei...

- bow before Your Highness. - bow before Your Highness.

My first order

is that the two of you don't have to kneel when you see me.

Your Highness.

Rules are rules.

Coach Cao.

Are you going to defy my order?

I dare not.

Your Highness.

Let's set out now.

I'll leave, but not now.

What does that mean, Your Highness?

The next stop in Jiangnan is Mount Longhu?

Yes.

As we travel east, besides Wudi City,

the most dangerous place is Mount Longhu.

I want to go there with him.

After we leave Mount Longhu,

I'll head west with you.

I'm not doing this for Xu Feng Nian.

The Xu family has protected me after all.

I have to return the favor.

Look, Your Highness.

There are two problems.

Do tell, Coach Cao.

First.

I've made an appearance in public.

There's no way for Your Highness

to be out in the open with Xu Feng Nian.

Otherwise, if they think Beiliang and Western Chu have joined forces,

the emperor of Liyang won't spare the Xu family.

I'll pretend to leave with you

and secretly join them.

All right.

Second.

What about Xu Feng Nian?

He has kept the Princess of Chu by his side all these years.

How's the Xu family going to explain it to the royal family?

That's no big deal.

All these years,

I'd been trying to assassinate Xu Feng Nian.

They'd find out right away.

From this, they'll easily draw a conclusion

that I've been hiding my identity

to seek revenge.

Your Highness

had been trying to assassinate him?

Why?

Because...

The status as the Princess of Chu is pretty useful.

Why are they keeping me alive?

At a critical time,

they'll trade me for something else.

I thought Xu Xiao would kill me.

So I had been trying to assassinate Xu Feng Nian since I was a kid.

Xu Xiao might have ulterior motives.

But what does that have to do with you killing me or not?

Are men fools or what?

Isn't it obvious?

Jiang Ni knew she would die.

That's why she kept trying to assassinate you

so that you would fear her and hate her.

She was worried you'd be upset

if she were to die some day.

Right from the start, this has been the reason

behind your assassination attempts?

Let's not talk about that now.

I've been thinking about another problem.

If Xu Xiao wanted to harm me,

would he by any chance let me overhear him?

I don't think so.

I thought so too.

I think Xu Xiao deliberately let me hear those things.

Also, I tried to assassinate him over and over again.

Could all this be kept from him?

Why didn't he stop me?

Do you remember what you said?

Xu Xiao often talks about achieving his goals at all costs.

I'm afraid you two are the costs.

At first,

I thought Xu Xiao would hand you over to the Lu family.

Come to think of it now,

with Coach Cao showing up here,

if we were to leave with him,

those years of assassination

would so happen to dispel any suspicion and threats for the Xu family.

Is there such a coincidence?

Because you two were there.

That's why he didn't kill me.

This is where Yu You Wei and I come into play here.

Not with the Lu family.

Mr. Cao.

Why would you come to Yangcheng?

I came for Her Highness.

How did you know that Jiang Ni was with me?

I didn't know if Her Highness was still alive.

But I found this.

- Shenfu? - Shenfu?

That's right.

Shenfu is a treasure of Western Chu.

I came across it in the hands of a vendor by the side of the road.

So I followed the bread crumbs and came here.

Wasn't the Shenfu with you?

Someone borrowed it.

Who?

His Highness would like to borrow something from you.

Master Wei told you

that Xu Xiao wanted to borrow the Shenfu?

So this was the reason

Master Wei came with me.

Xu Xiao set this up.

After you leave today,

the Princess of Chu shows up again,

and Liyang will once again have a powerful enemy,

whereas Beiliang's position will grow stronger.

When one hasn't served her purpose, she won't be disposable.

Xu Xiao tolerated Your Highness' assassination attempts

to let the whole world know

that Your Highness and Xu Feng Nian have an irreconcilable blood feud.

That would put the royal family at ease.

If not me, who else will succeed this hereditary position?

Everything is within Xu Xiao's plan.

So this plot has actually started when we were kids.

Xu Xiao.

He's a good weiqi player.

I thought you had matchless skills in weiqi?

Why would you now become someone else's pawn?

Following the fall of Western Chu,

we were cornered in the previous round.

Since then,

I've quit as a weiqi player.

Now that I've found Her Highness,

a new round begins.

Watch how I show my hand against the world heroes.

Your Highness.

We should go now.

Let's create the illusion of you taken by me.

I'll only leave after we get to Mount Longhu.

If we were to leave just like that,

it seemed kind of fake.

Just cut to the chase!

I'm too tired to guess and read between the lines.

Since I run into the god of blades,

how can I not have a taste of the Two-Sleeved Green Snake?

[Baoguo Temple]

Two-Sleeved Green Snake?

The fight has begun.

I'm not dead?

Where's Cao Chang Qing?

Cao Chang Qing identified Jiang Ni as the Princess of Chu.

He flew into a fury

and made a move against Feng Nian.

Good thing Master Li got here in time

to fight Cao Chang Qing.

Who won?

It was nip and tuck.

Cao Chang Qing took Jiang Ni and Yu You Wei away,

whereas Master Li managed to protect Feng Nian

and didn't pursue after them.

So she's really the Princess of Chu?

It's a shame I missed the fight between Cao Chang Qing and God of Blades.

Where's His Highness?

In the courtyard.

Mr. Lu, you're awake.

They merely exchanged one blow?

That's right.

Merely one blow.

If the celestial beings come to the mortal world,

it won't get much worse than this.

Who would have thought

that humans could have such formidable power?

Since you're awake,

are you going to fight against me?

It was never the Lu family's intention

to have a fallout with Beiliang.

After all,

everything that happened

stemmed from her grudge.

Pin it all on her?

Someone has to endure the wrath.

There's no wrath in me.

It's only fitting that she hates me.

But she doesn't deserve to die.

Your Highness' benevolence is admirable.

My sister chooses to stay.

If the Lu family doesn't intend to have a fallout with Beiliang,

please treat her well.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

I'll see you off.

I'm thinking about something.

What is it?

Master Wei borrowed Shenfu from Master Li,

but have it delivered right to Cao Chang Qing

to leave a trail of bread crumbs.

It's probably someone else

who led him to Baoguo Temple.

Master Wei is new to Jiangnan.

He doesn't have someone like that.

What else?

When Cao Chang Qing showed up, he was coming after me.

I remember you showed no emotion.

You knew with Jiang Ni and Yu You Wei there,

Cao Chang Qing wouldn't kill me.

Even if Jiang Ni couldn't stop him,

you knew Master Li wouldn't be fooled.

Today's developments

are within your expectation.

Everything in Jiangnan

is under your control.

I didn't take control of everything.

The female assassin's attack on you

was out of my expectation.

It freaked me out.

You knew Jiang Ni was Xu Xiao's pawn

that was meant to be returned to Cao Chang Qing.

I know.

But you never told me.

All these years,

I watched you and Jiang Ni together.

Your second sister and I left Beiliang one after another.

In a way,

it was Jiang Ni who stayed with you until this day.

Feng Nian.

Believe in me.

Only then,

there'll be a glimmer of hope

for you and Jiang Ni.

Sister.

It's been hard on you having to hide all this.

I might have poor health.

But this one here is not inferior to others in any way.

Listen to me.

Go with peace of mind.

Don't worry about me.

I'll lead a better life than anyone else.

Then,

I shall wait for you to come back for me.

[Baoguo Temple]

Master Wei, well done.

I only did as commanded.

Forgive me, Your Highness.

Miss.

They're gone.

Let's go inside and rest.

Miss!

Miss!

Don't scream.

Let him leave happily.

I'm afraid I might not last to make it home.

After the stunt you pulled,

I bet there are many people making inquiries about it now.

After tonight,

I'll sneak back into the convoy.

Your Highness, did it cross your mind

that Xu Xiao deliberately

let you stay by Xu Feng Nian's side?

Will the bond between you and Xu Feng Nian

ever be real?

But one can't fake their hearts.

Just let me accompany him to Mount Longhu.

Your Highness.

If Xu Feng Nian's life is in danger at Mount Longhu,

should we save him or not?

Why not?

If I were to save him,

it's as good as telling the whole world

that the Xu family and Western Chu aren't enemies.

At that time,

there'll be no turning back for Xu Feng Nian.

Well, Mr. Cao, you're skilled in martial arts, weiqi,

and you have great knowledge.

But you don't know much about women.

How so?

It's best if Xu Feng Nian has no way out.

That way, Her Highness can bring him back

to Western Chu.

Coach Cao.

I feel like eating cat meat.

Can you not be so cruel?

Are you going to spew nonsense again?

I was just telling the truth.

You'd better mind your words.

If not, there's no telling what will happen to your cat.

Can I secretly talk behind your back?

You'd better make sure I didn't hear you.

Wait up!

I'll take a look.

All right. I know.

Make sure no one assassinates him.

I wonder what I'd done in my previous life to deserve this.

After Jiang Ni's gone,

His Highness has been quiet.

Jiang Ni is a maidservant.

So are you.

Did it not cross your mind to take her place?

His Highness is the future Lord of Beiliang.

He'll be all-powerful.

To get away from prying eyes,

Jiang Ni won't be back tonight.

I know.

Are you really going to let her leave?

I'm no match for Cao Chang Qing.

If you want her to stay,

I can take care of Cao in Grey for you.

That girl is well qualified

to take up my mantle.

Well, you could have gone to the Western Chu to take her as your disciple.

Are you really not going to keep her here?

I want to.

But Jiang Ni isn't just my maidservant.

She has to pursue her own path.

I can't keep everyone by my side.

It's not fair to them.

You fool.

A complete fool.

Me?

You don't say.

I'm no match for you, no matter what.

Whatever you say goes.

I saw you using Two-Sleeved Green Snake.

How was it?

A disaster.

It seems like I'm just an unexceptional student.

Why is it called "Two-Sleeved Green Snake"

instead of "Two-Sleeved Green Dragon"?

Is there a particular reason for that too?

A flying snake turns into a dragon.

Although the dragon is noble and majestic,

once it becomes a dragon,

it turns into the mount of the immortals

and be under the command of immortals and gods.

Only the untransformed snake

has the desire to destroy everything.

Only then can it make its way to the top

and devour the arrogance of the world

even if it means going against itself.

Remember the true meaning of the green snake.

Only then can you truly put Two-Sleeved Green Snake into use.

If people give in,

they lose their unruliness.

To whom should we submit?

Your own heart.

People will feel afraid,

be in despair, have fear and flinch.

All the torments in your heart will tie you down

and stop you from moving forward.

The real Two-Sleeved Green Snake

is a technique that cuts all that's tying you down.

Cut off the fear in your heart

to break through the shackles

and walk down the path of your choice.

The swordsmanship is not important.

The true understanding of this

is when you master the Two-Sleeved Green Snake.

[To the Prince of Beiliang] (To let others fall under my control, )

the most important thing

is to disrupt their minds.

Wu Su is precious to Xu Feng Nian.

Influencing people's inner emotions through the diagrams.

The drawing of this heavenly dragon

will cut off the support in his heart.

In other words,

I want Wu Su to die before him once again.

It might even drive him mad.

To have Xu Feng Nian who has lost his sanity

to become the next Lord of Beiliang

is the best ending for the royal family, isn't it?

I'm going to get His Highness.

Report.

We found a box beside the campsite.

There's a note on it

addressing it to His Highness.

It's very light.

It doesn't seem like a hidden weapon.

[Wu Su's Life Events]

What's wrong?

It's the news of the night His Highness' mother was ambushed.

I thought there were no traces found all these years?

I have to show this to His Highness.

Guard the campsite. Don't let anyone near it.

All right.

Double up on perimeter security.

Yes.

Don't worry.

There's no poison on the book.

Since there's no hidden weapon or poison,

a book isn't going to do any harm to a person.

I kind of get it now.

But not entirely.

What is it that you don't understand?

What I don't understand

is how to cut off one's heart?

After all, Two-Sleeved Green Snake is just a sword aura.

There's no way to cut off one's heart.

We can't cut through our hearts for real.

Back then,

this was the very question that bothered me for quite some time.

After I invented the Two-Sleeved Green Snake,

I had difficulty finding a rival.

Since then,

I was dubbed "the god of blades".

How remarkable.

Somehow,

I still felt agitated and troubled.

I struggled hard,

but I couldn't find a way out.

Why is that?

My Two-Sleeved Green Snake is an unyielding wild snake.

But there are complacency and compromises in humanity.

If one day,

I were to lose this unyielding heart,

my martial skills would have come to the end of the road.

That's why I was afraid and felt lost.

It was as though the dead end was right in front of me,

and I had nowhere to hide.

I knew that this dead end

came from the fear in my heart.

Only by destroying the obstacles that were deep down in my heart

could I keep moving forward.

Just like the question you asked me.

I asked myself the same thing every day.

"How do I cut off my heart?"

Did you manage to do it?

Yes.

Bring Two-Sleeved Green Snake to the next level.

and that is my true ultimate skill.

It's called the Opening of Celestial Gate Sword Technique.

I think I'm starting to have a faint vision.

That's because I'm using the true meaning of the sword technique

to influence you.

What you're seeing is the secret of this sword technique.

You could make me see things?

When one reaches the pinnacle,

from the body to mind,

from changing reality to affecting one's mind,

it's all just a matter of course.

That is why some martial art experts could make you flinch in fear

with just their presence alone.

The very reason is that he uses his mind to overwhelm you.

Enough said about that.

What did you see when you were in a trance-like state?

I saw a sword cutting through heaven and earth.

I don't quite understand it.

What is destiny?

One's destiny is the truth shown by the way of heaven.

What is the way of heaven and man?

A man should fear destiny

but not be afraid to defy heaven.

When calamity falls upon him,

it's hidden and formless.

Thus, the old saying of following the way of heaven.

Blessings befall those who abide by it

and calamity upon those who defy it.

The way of heaven applies to all living things.

As men bow down to the heavens,

they long to become celestial beings.

The celestial gate

is the way for all to become celestial beings.

Those who pass the gate

will be placed above all living things.

But I couldn't resign to it.

To what?

That the heavenly way will dictate one's life.

That we can't fight against fate.

That men can't defeat the heavens.

That celestial beings are immortals.

I'll use the sword in my hand

to cut open the celestial gate!

I, Li Chun Gang, have been alone all my life.

I explore the way of heaven, but I won't submit to it.

I find my own way without fear of heaven and man.

Even if the gods now and then come to the mortal world,

I, Li Chun Gang, will cut them off with my sword!

Now, do you understand

the meaning of the Opening of Celestial Gate Sword Technique?

Cut off the destiny

and cut off the shackles.

With this unyielding spirit,

I can cut away all the hesitation, helplessness,

nightmare, and fear in my heart.

With this, my heart will be as clear as crystal,

as I wander across the world.

This notion

is the spirit of the Opening of Celestial Gate Sword Technique.

Did you manage to master the sword technique?

Yes.

How could you lose to Wang Xian Zhi then?

I merely used Two-Sleeved Green Snake

to fight against him.

Not the Opening of Celestial Gate Sword Technique.

Why?

Wang Xian Zhi is a talented person.

I didn't want him to die just like that.

Well, you'd rather lose?

I wasn't sure I could win without killing him.

I was a little hesitant.

How could one hesitate when fighting against Wang Xian Zhi?

Of course, one would lose then.

If so, you should go for another round.

That's what I thought too.

Once I nurture my sword intention

and truly master the Opening of Celestial Gate Sword Technique,

I'll have another round with him.

That way, I'll be able to defeat him without having to kill him.

But still, that didn't happen.

Because not long after that,

I got defeated in life.

My sword intent and fighting intent

were all gone.

How does one get defeated in life?

You've mastered the Opening of Celestial Gate Sword Technique.

One doesn't get everything they want

and get to live a good life

simply by being highly skilled in martial arts.

To me, I personally killed

the person who meant the world to me.

Since then, nothing matters anymore.

You...

Anyway, it's all in the past now.

Your Highness.

Master Li.

Your Highness.

We found this box by the campsite.

It contains the news of the night

Your Highness' mother was ambushed.

Show me.

Whatever the news may be,

don't forget to cut off the shackles in your heart.

Cut off the shackles in the heart?

The Opening of Celestial Gate Sword Technique.

Isn't that Master Li's ultimate swordsmanship in legend?

Did he pass it down to you?

It's not swordsmanship.

It's the true meaning of it.

True meaning?

Wang Xian Zhi was in the capital that night.

Could he be the one who attacked my mother?

We don't know where this box comes from.

It might not be true.

What's the drawing on it?

I think it's the traces of random scribbling.

It doesn't affect the wordings though.

Ignore it for now.

♫ In the center of my heart, my growing sorrow ♫

♫ Has been washed away by this splendid beginning ♫

♫ I’m going out at dawn, taking a gamble ♫

♫ Betting you will be there to meet me with your reply. ♫

♫ Forgive me for this tragic ending, ♫

♫ As you are moved to meet me in this misty moment ♫

♫ Even though the thunder rolls and lightning flashes, ♫

♫ Even if by this effort, I am left behind… ♫

♫ My meeting with you will leave you in ruins ♫

♫ Let you place in memory this final sad painting ♫

♫ As the years pass, joined by innumerable glamorous paintings ♫

♫ Who will bother to look at it again? ♫

♫ My momentary life is already sufficient ♫

♫ To give up all my possessions to sentimentally see it through ♫

♫ I can again give you a lifetime’s worth of loving words ♫

♫ To settle a world full of worries. ♫

♫ My momentary life, throughout it, I’ll be nearby watching ♫

♫ In case in these lovely surroundings you are secretly sorrowful ♫

♫ If you regret this ending and want some way to start over again, ♫

♫ Remember, you can still return to me. ♫
