自寻道向前找自由人间道
Seeking my own path, moving forward to find freedom in this world.
水和山走了多少数不著
How much have the waters and mountains traveled, it's impossible to count.
天不老 保我家乡永远好
The heavens endure, may my hometown forever thrive.
望尽尽是青山 青山处处是雨剑风刀
Endless views of green mountains, where rain and swords dance everywhere.
故园路 怎么是走不尽长路
The road back home, why does it feel like an endless journey?
道人道道神道自求人间道
The way of the sage, the way of the divine, seeking a path among mortals.
妖与魔都说自己好
Both demons and spirits claim to be good.
风疾雷暴 天地鬼哭神号
Amidst storms and thunder, heaven and earth weep and the gods cry out.
旧日江山为什么 变成了血海滔滔
Why has the old landscape transformed into a raging sea of blood?
故园路 怎么是不归路
The road back home, why does it feel like a road of no return?
旧日江山为什么 变成了血海滔滔
Why has the old landscape turned into a sea of blood?
故园路 怎么是不归路
The road to my hometown, why is it a road of no return?
问人间到底道在那里找
Where in this world can I seek the truth?
