Salt fog on Ikkaku Stone, Haifeng long forgot its own. Mother’s blood in breaking foam, Father’s eyes from dark alone. Auntie’s hand and fishing gaff, Learned in shadows not to laugh. 冬珠唠狐 was my name, Hauling floods to feed the plains. One safe door in a village of friends, My secret answers to no ends. Tide comes in, tide goes out. I'm still here. Of that, no doubt. Red sails cut the morning grey, Pier went up before the day. Coral Queen took breath and bone, Village burned, faced death alone. Auntie’s voice lost in the flame, Smoke and salt did take my name. 冻竹哰虎 was my name, Bled the blood to keep the pain. No safe door in a village of flame, My vengeance answers to no rein. Tide comes in, tide goes out. I'm still here. Of that, no doubt. Three long years in rot and need, Learned the shape of hunger’s seed. Teeth and nails and stones that break, Kill or bleed for others’ sake. Found a blade in goblin hand, Took its edge, but not its land. 东柱牢虎 was my name, Bled the blood to feed the flame. No safe door in a country of chains, My vengeance answers to no name. Tide comes in, tide goes out. I'm still here. Of that, no doubt. Line was read, the brands still warm, “Freed by law.” A change of form. No more chain, no guard, no call, Just a door then naught for all. Coin and orders, thin and dry, Left to live or left to die. Told Lao Hu, now that's my name, Bled the blood to shield the flame. One new door in a city of chains, My vengeance answers to no rein. Tide comes in, tide goes out. I'm still here. Of that, no doubt. Tannery walls and gutter’s breath, Names I wore like borrowed death. Letters passed and bottles poured, Blade stayed sheathed, though fists grew bored. They spoke of gears beneath the chain, I learned the shape, but kept the pain. Four names split in borrowed tongue, None are right, and none are wrong. Bamboo bends, though it might break, Now I fight for my own sake. Hands I take are not for trust, Just the weight that holds or rusts. 洞主落虎, I take my name, Holding blood to tend my flame. All dead names to the Order of Chain, The vengeance answers to my reign. Tide comes in, tide goes out. I'm still here. Of that, no doubt. Tide comes in… tide goes out… Still here. Still no doubt.
