Seven Hills

Plague And Fear Swarm Like Flies,
Maidens Weave Like Bustles In Hair,
Spirits, Exhausted Sway In The Gust,
No Longer Able To Hold Against The Eyes Of Trouble.

Not Long They Waited For The Tempest To Arrive,
And The Peal Of The Bell Shattered,
The Candle Burnt Out At The Seven Hills,
And Ashes Veiled A Dream.

Incense Arose From A Thurible In Church,
But Failed To Cover Their Tracks From God,
People Came To Bid Farewell To Icons,
That Were Taken To Auction The Next Morning.

Why Aren't You, Prince Gabriel, Travelling In Haste?
Did You Neglect Your Bread? Are Swords Blunt?
Seemingly, There Is No Union Between Angels And Demons,
There Is Not Enough Grief For Them, No Matter If We Cry Or Laugh.

Juno Passed By And Scattered The Darkness,
Instead Of Wisdom She Gave To Us Ill Rumour.
Shandong Spoilage Drowns Our Heads,
Surrogate And Plastic Are All We See.

We Pray Not To Perish In The Attire Of These Dreams,
Let Us See At Least The Shadows Of Your Work,
The Libran Shoulders Ached For A Long Time,
The Ibis Flew But Couldn't Reach Us.

Indeed, Our Fate Blazes In Tongues Of Flame,
Truly, Our Ardour Thaws Not Even The Snow,
Your Almanac Hides The Barefoot Mystery
In The Silvered Mane Of The Steppe Horse.

The Black Friar Seats In The Amarnath Cave,
He Speaks Word To The Seven Sages.
The Virgin Lotus Remains Amongst The Seven Hills.
Find And Return It To The Wan Hearts.
