SAIL WHERE THE DAWN BEGINS

《與海的長生之約》
他將蒼茫六合熔鑄為一體，
企圖以巨石與長城，抵擋歲月無情地流逝。
在鹹陽宮的最高處，他孤獨地眺望四季更迭，
直至聽見死神逼近的腳步聲迴盪。

「去吧，取東海彼岸的不老仙草，
以死神也無法阻絕的甘霖，換我江山永固。」
在銅燈搖曳、香煙繚繞的大殿下，滿朝屏息，
徐福許下了承諾，卻也註定將身影沒入茫茫煙雨。

攤開斑駁的古老輿圖，千艘巨艦整裝待發，
鹹濕的海風鼓滿了絲綢的船帆。
一代帝王，將僅存的長生希望，
託付給了那片未知的汪洋，遠渡重洋而去。

徐福啊，揚帆起航，駛向黎明之巔，
承載著死亡也無法熄滅的迷夢。
願你帶回那永不消逝的春天，
帶給我永恆的歲月，與一顆至死不渝的真心。

然而，潮水帶走了名字，從不歸還；
浩瀚的大海對王冠與命運皆漠然以對。
他向著怒號的波濤呼喊，而波濤只是翻滾向前，永不停息。
空蕩的王座孤立於殿宇深處，靜候著永遠不會來臨的黎明。

無數年輕的生命追隨他，穿越迷霧重重的海域，
帶上麥種與絲綢，在天際的盡頭飄蕩。
他們在驚濤駭浪中尋找仙島，尋找傳說中的秘密花園，
任由歲月在浪花與鹽粒中悄然流逝。

徐福是否真的找到了海圖之外的彼岸？
他可曾曾乘著月色，駕船歸家？
史冊在濃重的迷霧中留下一扇半掩的門，
真理播撒之處，唯留海風呼嘯的一片寂靜。

回到深宮，長明燈的火光漸漸黯淡，
一隻守護長生美酒的杯盞，一隻焦灼顫抖的手。
他已將廣袤的大地盡收於掌心，
卻始終無法駕馭指縫間漏下的沙礫。

徐福啊，揚帆起航，駛向黎明之初，
承載著死亡無法磨滅的夢想。
究竟有沒有一處海岸，讓歲月甘願停駐？
還是，天地間只剩下怒海與帝王鋼鐵般的意志？

潮水銘記著它吞沒之人的名字，
大地銘記著統治者走過時留下的血色印記。
他向著狂亂的波濤呼喊，潮水依然滾滾向前。
王座孤寂地佇立，不知疲倦地靜候著黎明。

他曾築起萬里長城，妄圖抵禦北方冰冷的風，
在遼闊的土地上鋪設如箭矢般筆直的馳道。
然而，縱使是最堅硬的頑石，也會在時間的暴雨中崩塌；
每一個不可一世的王朝，終究都會從指縫中悄然溜走。

世間沒有不朽的靈根，沒有長生的島嶼，
能將最後一口呼吸永遠留在胸膛。
在無垠的蔚藍海面上，帝王的艦隊是如此渺小，
縱然號令天下，皇帝終究無法統領這片汪洋。

徐福啊，揚帆起航，駛向黎明之初……
潮水不停地滾滾向前，沖刷著岸邊的沙。
一個帝國記得他曾開闢的萬里道路，
而深邃的大海，則將其餘的一切，
溫柔而冷酷地，擁入它蔚藍的懷抱。

He bound six realms into one name
Set stone against the passing years
From Xianyang’s heights he watched the seasons turn
And heard death approaching
“Bring me the herb beyond the eastern sea,
A draught no grave can overcome”
The court held its breath beneath the bronze-lit hall
As Xu Fu promised what was gone

A map was spread, a fleet prepared
The salt wind lifted every sail
One emperor sent his hope away
Across the rim of the world

Sail, Xu Fu, sail where the dawn begins
Carry the dream no death can dim
Bring back the spring that will not depart
Bring me forever, bring me a heart
But the tide keeps the names of the ones it takes
And the sea gives no answer to crowns or fate
He called to the waves; they rolled on and on
And the throne stood waiting for the dawn

Young lives followed him through the open water
Seeds and silk beneath the sky
They searched the islands for a secret garden
Where the years would wander by
Did Xu Fu find a shore beyond the charts?
Did he turn his ships toward home?
The records leave a doorway in the mist
And silence where the truth was sown

Back in the palace, lamps burned low
A guarded cup, a restless hand
He had gathered all the earth beneath him
Still could not command the sand

Sail, Xu Fu, sail where the dawn begins
Carry the dream no death can dim
Bring back the spring that will not depart
Bring me forever, bring me a heart
But the tide keeps the names of the ones it takes
And the sea gives no answer to crowns or fate
He called to the waves; they rolled on and on
And the throne stood waiting for the dawn

He raised a wall against the northern wind
Laid roads like arrows through the land
Yet even stone gives way to rain
And every reign slips through the hand
No golden root, no distant isle
Could hold the breath inside a chest
The ships grew small against the blue
The emperor could not command the west

Sail, Xu Fu, sail where the dawn begins
Carry the dream no death can dim
Was there a shore where the years stood still?
Or only the sea and an iron will?
The tide keeps the names of the ones it takes
The earth keeps the marks that a ruler makes
He called to the waves; they rolled on and on
And the throne stood waiting for the dawn

The throne stood waiting for the dawn
The tide kept rolling on
A kingdom remembers the road he made
The sea keeps the rest in its blue embrace
