[English]

Legends aren't born of fate

Yet they’re forged by deeds

The so-called bloodline is of no real significance

How can a giant tree rise from a tiny seed?

How can a grand monument rise from the ashes?

Having endured loss, tasting pain and shedding blood

Even when the heavens darken, we must keep fighting

Even if this body is as fragile as a reed

Yet, chasing the fire and burning oneself has become a creed

Break through the night to find the light

Break the shackles

The so-called dawn brings freedom

Time wears life away

The past fades away like smoke

Only faith endures, passing on and echoing

Steady your gaze, recall the heroic spirits of our elders

In the gloom, we strive to blaze and shine

Scars cover the body; sacrifices line the road ahead

Even as the heavens darken, we must still fight

Even with flaws in my body, I will never bow

I'd rather burn myself chasing the fire than kneel and surrender

Break through the night to find the light

Break the shackles

The so-called dawn, born to be free

Even if this body is as fragile as a reed

Yet, chasing the fire and burning oneself has become a creed

Break through the night to seek the light

Dawn is at hand

The so-called dawn will finally bring freedom

[Chinese]

傳奇並非天成

但由功跡鑄就

所謂血脈 無足輕重

巨木何以擢於微種？

豐碑何以立於餘燼？

歷經失卻 飲痛瀝血

天穹尚晦仍應相搏

縱使此身脆弱只如葦草

然為逐火焚身已成信條

闢夜求光

斫斷鐐銬

所謂破曉生來自由

歲月磨蝕生命

往事亦如煙消

唯有信仰 流傳迴盪

凝神回望先輩英魄

昏晦之中竭力閃灼

鱗傷遍體 犧牲塞途

天穹尚晦 仍應相搏

縱使缺瑕伴身 絕不卑屈

寧為逐火焚身 亦不跪降

闢夜求光

斫斷鐐銬

所謂破曉 生來自由

縱使此身脆弱 只如葦草

然為逐火焚身 已成信條

闢夜求光

咫尺侵晨

所謂破曉 終將自由
