CD2-11-End or Beginning

End or Beginning
(Music: simple-person; Lyric: adapted from a poem, "End or Beginning", by Bei Dao)

I am standing here
To substitute another being killed
There’s no other choices
On where I will be falling
There will stand another one

Over my shoulder, is the wind
Over the wind, the twinkling stars

Perhaps one day
The sun turned into a shriveled wreath ...
... laying on every tomb of the unyielding fighters
The tombs that are growing like a forest

The crows, the fragments of tonight
A profusion of darkness
