I stood in the blazing wind and hated it.
Swinging all the sheer pain in my heart, I look at the sky and the four directions of cloud movement.
Sword in hand, ask the world who is the hero.
I am standing in the strong wind, and I hate that I can't do it.
Swinging all the sheer heartache, looking at the sky and the four directions of cloud movement.
Sword in hand, ask the world who is the hero.
There are a lot of people in the world who love you, but I love you alone.
The sadness of the parting of the road is different, how many years of love hastily buried.
In my heart you are the most important, sadness and joy *** life and death with.
You use the tenderness to carve the bones, in exchange for my boldness of the sky.
You're the heaviest in my heart, and my tears are rushing toward the sky.
In the next life, I will also be a hero, and I will return to the slanting sun.
You are the heaviest in my heart, sadness and joy **** life and death together.
You use the tenderness to carve the bones, in exchange for my boldness in the sky.
You're the heaviest in my heart, and my tears are rushing toward the sky.
In the next life, I will also be a hero, and I will return to the slanting sun.
I stood in the strong wind and hated it.
Swinging all the sheer heartache, looking at the sky, the four directions of cloud movement.
Sword in hand, ask the world who is the hero.
There are a lot of people in the world who love you, but I love you alone.
The road is different from the road at the time of the sadness, how many years of love is buried in a hurry.
