The Son of Heaven

The sun in the sky

Does not rise

But it is decreed

By the son of heaven

And the banner

Of the son of heaven

Is a large yellow star

Upon a bloody red field

Heaven's son has ordered today

That there will be no light

And that the water will be shut off by five

For an indefinite period of time

The son of heaven is reputed

To be able to move the mountains

But he cannot forever put to rest

The secret whispers and rumors

Of the restless students

Or the troubled soul of a single young man

The son of heaven is now an old man

He will live a thousand thousand thousand lives

And one day die a hero of his people
