Going Out the Passes: First Series
III
I sharpened my sword in those sobbing waters,
the water turned red, the blade cut my hand.
I had tried to ignore those heart-breaking sounds,
but the heart’s thoughts have long been in turmoil[1].
When a true man swears to devote his life to the realm,
what place is left for anguish[2] or rage?
Deeds of fame are pictured in the Royal Gallery—
and the bones left from battle crumble[3] swiftly.
